Spice-Rubbed Snapper with Lime and Cilantro

Aromatic spices like ginger and turmeric are prized in some cultures for their healing properties; here, they give flavor and color to broiled snapper fillets. Serve the snapper on a bed of vinaigrette-dressed shredded green cabbage for a light lunch, or with steamed jasmine rice.
