Sichuan Grilled Fish (Keto)
White fish fillet grilled over high heat and bathed in a Sichuan chili-bean broth built from doubanjiang, dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns. Napa cabbage and bean sprouts simmer beneath the fish, finished with a sizzling ladle of scallion-and-garlic chili oil for a numbing, smoky, fat-forward plate.

Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the fish dry, rub with salt and white pepper, and let rest 10 minutes at room temperature so seasoning penetrates the flesh.
2
Toast the Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies in a dry skillet over medium heat for 45 seconds, shaking, until chilies darken and peppercorns smell citrusy.
3
Brush the fish with avocado oil and grill over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until opaque and flaking easily with a fork; set aside.
4
Heat sesame oil in a saucepan over medium heat, add doubanjiang, garlic, ginger and scallion whites, and cook 1 minute, stirring, until fragrant and oil turns red.
5
Simmer the broth
add stock, toasted peppercorns, chilies, salt and rice vinegar over medium-low heat for 5 minutes until slightly thickened and coats a spoon.
6
Scatter napa cabbage and bean sprouts into simmering broth, cover, and cook 2 minutes until cabbage wilts and turns translucent at the edges.
7
Plate
Ladle vegetables and broth into a bowl, lay grilled fish on top, spoon extra broth over the fillet, and scatter scallion greens over the surface.
