Thai Baked Snapper

Thai Baked Snapper

Ingredients

1.5 kg Snapper cleaned, scaled and gutted
4 cloves crushed garlic
4cm piece ginger grated
1 stalk lemon grass finely chopped
4 tbs sweet chilli sauce
2 tbs fish sauce
3 tbs rice vinegar
6 tbs chopped coriander
4 spring onion finely chopped
juice of 1 lime

Directions

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl except for the fish, preheat oven to 200c while you prepare the fish. Lay 2 pieces of foil on your work surface and top with a piece of baking paper. Make 3 incisions into the flesh of the fish do this for both sides, place fish on baking paper and pour sauce on top. Wrap tightly so the sauce does not leak and bake in the oven for 40 mins. Remember all ovens are calibrated differently so it may take a few minutes longer, just make a cut in the foil and check. When cooked transfer to a warm serving plate and pour the cooking juices over the fish. I love to serve his with garlic, ginger coconut rice.
