    Ingredients

    • 1 Whole fish
    • 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
    • 1 teaspoon of salt
    • 1 teaspoon of turmeric
    • 1 teaspoon of ginger
    • 1 teaspoon of garlic
    • 1 teaspoon of lemongrass
    • 1 tablespoon of tamarind paste -
    • 1 tablespoon of chili paste
    • 1 teaspoon of coriander
    • 2 kaffir lime leaves
    • 2 tablespoons of coconut milk
    • 1 tablespoon of sugar

    Method

    • Begin by preparing the marinade for the fish. In a small bowl, mix the cooking oil, salt, turmeric, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, tamarind paste, chilli paste, coriander, kaffir lime leaves, coconut milk, and sugar.
    • Once the marinade is ready, rub it all over the fish and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
    • Once the fish has been marinated, it can be cooked over an open flame or in an oven. If grilling over an open flame, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and place the fish on the grill. Grill the fish for 10-15 minutes, flipping it halfway through. 
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the fish on a baking sheet if cooking in the oven. Bake the fish for 15-20 minutes or until it is cooked.
