Recipe of Baked Fish with Thai Spices



Ingredients:

4 trout filltes, about 200 gm each
1 stalk lemongrass, finely chopped
A small piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped
1 garlic flake, finely chopped
1 tbsp fish sauce
Juice of 2 lemons
1 tsp golden castor sugar
A handful of coriander leaves, roughly chopped

Method:

Heat oven at 200 degree centigrade. Tear off two large sheets of aluminum foil and place on fillet, skin side down, in the center of each sheet. Make a sauce by mixing together the remaining ingredients. Spoon half of the mixture over the fillets, setting aside he remainder.
Place other two fish fillets on the top, skin-side up, then tightly seal the foil to create two packages resembling sandwiches. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Open the packages and serve with the rest of the sauce.


Tip: Snapper or seabass would also work well in this recipe, but they can be quite expensive. Trout works wonderfully and is quite a treat with its gentle aromatic flavors.
