Ingredients

For Vinaigrette
1 cup Passion fruit puree
1 Lime (juiced)
1 Lemon (juiced)
1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
2 tsp Fresh garlic (chopped)
1 ounce Granulated sugar
Pinch Salt
1 ounce Fish sauce
5 sprigs Fresh thyme
1 Habenaro
2 ounce Red wine vinegar
1 cup Vegetable oil
For Fish
1 Yellowtail snapper
2 cups All purpose flour
2 tbs Kosher salt
2 tbs Ground black pepper
1 tbs Ground cayenne pepper
Oil for frying

Instructions

For Vinaigrette
Place all ingredients except for the salad oil in a blender. Puree until smooth, then slowly add salad oil until fully emulsified. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and finish with diced cucumber, tomato and mango (optional).

For Fish
Carefully score the skin of the fish without cutting into the flesh, this allows for the skin to shrink without curling the fish. Season the outside of the fish with salt and pepper. Place the remainder of the salt and pepper with flour and cayenne in a bowl. Dust the fish with seasoned flour and fry in 350 degree oil until golden brown. (you may also shallow pan fry a filet on the stovetop if you do not have a deep fryer) Remove and drain on paper towel and serve with Caribbean vinaigrette.
