Background
This Thai baked sea bass is perfect for dinner parties, as the marinating can be prepared hours ahead -Β the baking itself is super easy. Serve it with steamed jasmine rice, stir-fried veggies or this fantastic Thai potato salad>>.
Ingredients
- 4 small or 2 big whole sea bass, cleaned & gutted
- 2 limes
- For the marinade:
- Zest of 1 lime
- Juice of Β½ lime
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp
- 1 tsp groundnut oil
- 1 chilli, deseeded and chopped
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 2 cm ginger, grated
- 1 lemon grass, outer leaves and woody parts removed
- 2 spring onions, chopped (green parts too)
- Pinch of palm or brown sugar
- 1 handful coriander leaves
Instructions
- Put the ingredients for the marinade into a small food processor, then pulse until you get a textured paste.
- Wash the sea bass inside and out, then pat dry with kitchen paper. Score the skin with a sharp knife about 3- 4 times on each side, then rub the marinade all over, pushing some into the incisions. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (ideally 2-4 hours).
- Preheat the oven to 180Β°C degree.
- Cut the limes into 50mm thick rings, then arrange them in 4 rows in a large baking dish. Lay the fish on top of the rows (if you have two larger fish, create two double rows with the limes slices).
- Cover the dish with foil, then bake for 20 minutes. Let it cool for 5 minutes before removing the foil. Or, if you want crispy skin, remove the foil, turn on the grill in the oven and brown the top of the fish for a couple of minutes.
- Serve immediately with some coriander leaves and/or spring onion slices scattered on top.
