Thai-style baked Sea Bass

As with bringing about feline demise, there are many ways to cook bass. What makes this Thai-style baked Sea Bass recipe special is that it's so quick, simple and delicious. It's based on a Thai dish, so I normally like to wrap the fish in banana leaf but it can still work well using baking paper. You need one medium (300g) fish per person or two slightly larger ones can be nicely divided between two adults and a child.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Sea bass cleaned
  • 1 large banana leaf or baking paper
  • 2 lemongrass
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3 cm fresh ginger
  • 1 large red chilli
  • 1 lime

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
  2. Stuffing: Thinly slice the lemongrass, garlic and ginger. Finely chop the red chilli (having removed the seeds and veins if you don't like it too spicy). Mix together in a bowl with the zest and juice of the lime.
  3. Stuff the fish stomach cavities with the mix. Place the fish onto the banana leaf (head to tail on their sides) then wrap them into a parcel and tie loosely with string.
  4. Put onto a tray and bake in the oven for about 25 mins. Unwrap and serve with the vegetables of your choice.
