1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

3 scallions, thinly sliced

1 small red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped

1 small yellow bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped

1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

2 tbsp. fresh lime juice, plus wedges to serve

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a large bowl, toss the snapper with the white vinegar. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes, then drain and rinse the snapper. Return snapper to bowl along with the coconut milk, cilantro, scallions, tomato, bell peppers, and red onion.
