Pour in 1/4 cup of oil and a can of coconut milk, along with some salt and sugar.

Chop some onion and add it to the pot.

Clean the snapper by removing the fins and scales, as it's already been gutted.

Season the fish with salt, garlic salt, regular salt, cumin, and pepper.

Make slashes in the fish for better seasoning.

Coat the fish in a breading before frying.

Heat 1 cup of oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.

Fry the fish for 8 minutes on each side.

For the rice, sauté chopped onion in 4 teaspoons of oil, then remove the onion after frying.

Add the rice, salt, and sugar to the pan and stir.

Cover and cook for 15 minutes, then stir and cook for another 20 minutes, checking for doneness.

If the rice is still hard, cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
