Snapper in Chile-Lime Sauce (Pescado en Chile-Limón)

• FAST

Ingredients

1. 1/2 cup pure olive oil
2. One 2-pound red snapper, cleaned
3. Kosher salt
4. 2 cups Chile-Lime Sauce
5. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet until shimmering. Season the fish inside and out with 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the fish to the skillet and fry over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
2. Tilt the pan slightly and spoon off as much of the oil as possible. Add the sauce and cook, spooning the sauce over the fish, until it is hot and the fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Using 2 spatulas, transfer the fish to a large platter. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl until melted. Season with salt, pour over the fish and serve.
