Thai Style Fish - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 None medium-sized bream or snapper, cleaned and trimmed
1 bunch cilantro, leaves only + extra leaves, to serve
2 None green onions, sliced + extra, to serve
1 None lemongrass stem, bruised and sliced
2 slices fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
2 None kaffir lime leaves
1 None chili, deseeded and sliced
1/4 cup lime or lemon juice
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp fish sauce
None None lime wedges and halves, to serve

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.
Wash the fish and pat dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, score the skin at 1/2 inch intervals, to allow for even cooking. Place in a foil-lined baking tray.
Fill the fish cavities with half each of the cilantro, onion, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, kaffir lime leaves and chili.
Finely chop the remaining cilantro, onion, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, lime leaves and chili. Transfer to a bowl with the lime juice, brown sugar and fish sauce. Mix well and spoon over the fish.
Bake for 15-20 mins, until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Drizzle with the pan juices and top with extra cilantro and green onions to serve. Accompany with lime wedges and halves.
