- 2 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced

For the dipping sauce
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
- 1
Pat the snapper fillets dry with paper towels, then finely chop them by hand into pieces no larger than 1/4 inch — you want a rough, chunky mince, not a paste. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Add the grated carrot, basil, parsley, scallion greens, beaten egg, 1/2 cup gluten free breadcrumbs, and 1 tsp salt to the bowl. Fold everything together until just combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
