2-3 TBSP coconut sugar
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Handful fresh coriander, chopped

In a large wok or frying pan with lid, fry snapper on high heat in butter 2-3 mins per side. Set aside.
Deglaze pan with rice wine.
Add garlic and red curry paste to the wok and cook until fragrant.

Scoop the snapper out and arrange on a serving platter.
Add the kale, capsicum and tomatoes into pan and cook till just wilted.
