Once you have cleaned the snapper, place on a large plate or board.
Create 2-3 slightly diagonal slits on each side of snapper. Cut relatively deep but do not cut through the bone.
Drizzle 1 tbsp soy sauce inside and outside of snapper.
Smear garlic inside and out of snapper, making sure some of the garlic gets into the slits you cut.
Mix white parts of scallion and cilantro, then stuff fish with it.
Place baking tray in a preheated oven at 420 for 5 mins, then remove and place enough aluminum foil on top to envelope the snapper.
Drizzle foil with olive oil, and half the amount of black pepper.
Sprinkle green parts of scallions then place snapper on top.
Drizzle snapper with sesame oil, 1 tbsp soy sauce and rest of black pepper.
Create an envelope with the foil to cover the snapper then place in preheated oven at 420 and cook for approx. 20 mins.
