How to Make Baked Snapper Chinoise

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In an oven-safe shallow casserole dish, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth, and 1 teaspoon sugar.
  3. Arrange snapper fillets (about 1 pound) in a single layer in the casserole dish. Gently flip the fillets to coat both sides with the sauce.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, basting twice with the sauce during cooking, until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
