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.

Meanwhile, quarter the tomatil-los and simmer them in water to cover until soft (about five minutes). Drain and chop. Chop the peppers.

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.

Broil the snapper for about seven to 10 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked. Pass the vinaigrette sauce separately.
