2 tablespoons honey

1
In a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1 turn of the pan.

Score the skin side of the fish with a few crosshatch marks to keep it from curling.

4
Put the fish in the skillet, skin side down, and cook, turning once, until it's no longer raw in its thickest part, about 4 minutes on each side.
5
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil, 3 turns of the pan.
6
When the oil ripples, add the ginger, garlic and cabbage.
7
Wilt and sear the cabbage for 3 to 4 minutes, then add the scallions and cook for another minute.
8
Add the soy sauce, vinegar and honey.
9
Toss the cabbage to coat evenly with the sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.
10
Pile the ginger-scallion cabbage on dinner plates and top with the red snapper.
