Two days back. when I was browsing the TV channels, I came across some chef making a grilled Sea bass Thai style. It was so damn easy & healthy that I thought, this should definitely go in to my blog. I don't know the chef's name, neither do I remember the programme's name, what I do remember is the recipe. I have improvised a bit from the original recipe. It taste yum. Trust me, you should try making it. Within 30 minutes, your healthy dinner is ready.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole sea bass (cleaned, scales removed, if you want keep the head & tails on, its ok but I usually cut it off)
- 60 gm coriander leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 lemon (cut into thin round slices)
- juice of 2 lemons
- 1 big onion (cut into thin round rings)
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
- 2 tbsp fish sauce (if not available, then use soy sauce)
- 2 tbsp of ginger ( julienne)
- 2-3 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
- 2 thai red chillies (if not available, use the finger chillies) (cut into strips, seeds removed)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp of soft brown sugar
- salt & pepper to season
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degree Celsius. Make deep cuts on both sides of the fish with a knife.Keep aside. Now take a baking tray, cover it with an aluminium foil.
- Place the onion rings in the middle of the tray, such that you place the fish on the bed of these rings.
- Now put the fish on top of the onion rings. Season the fish slightly with salt & peper. Don't forget to season inside the fish too.
- Now insert the lemon slices inside the fish. Drizzle the olive oil all over the fish, both inside & out.
- Put the tray into the oven & let the fish bake (you can even grill it) for 20 minutes & no more.
- While the fish is in the oven, let's make the Thai sauce. Heat a sauce pan & pour in the lemon juice, fish sauce, sesame oil, coriander leaves, julienne ginger, garlic, chillies, sugar & keep it for 5 minutes. The sauce should reduce & thicken a bit. Switch it off.
- After 20 minutes, take the fish out & slowly tip in to the serving plate with the onions on top of it (lets not waste the onions). Now slowly, drizzle the Thai sauce over the fish, also into the cuts made in the fish before.
- Perfect, healthy baked Sea Bass is ready to be eaten with a good glass of wine. Cheers!

ReplyDeleteI've never been much of a fish fan, but this looks really good!
ReplyDeleteI have never prepared a whole fish (or most of a whole fish), but we catch a lot of bass in our lake. I'm going to try this recipe on "lake bass!"
