Preparation

Step 1
Wipe the snapper inside and out with paper towels. Sprinkle with about a tablespoon of the hazelnut oil and the juice of half the lime. Set aside.
Step 2
Preheat broiler. Seed the peppers and cut them into quarters. Place them skin side up on a grilling rack and broil until the skins are charred. Place them in a plastic or paper bag and let them cool. Peel off the skins.
Step 3
Meanwhile, quarter the tomatil-los and simmer them in water to cover until soft (about five minutes). Drain and chop. Chop the peppers.
Step 4
Place the tomatillos, peppers, chilies, garlic and onion in a small bowl. Add the remaining hazelnut oil and toss thoroughly. Add the juice of the remaining lime to taste.
Step 5
Just before serving, stir in the coriander and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Broil the snapper for about seven to 10 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked. Pass the vinaigrette sauce separately.
