Elevate your dinner party with a flavorful Asian-inspired baked snapper dish.
Ingredients:
  • 2kg whole snapper
  • 3 stems coriander (including roots), washed, roughly chopped
  • 2 limes, thinly sliced
  • Extra fresh coriander sprigs, shredded
  • Green onion, to serve
  • Fried shallots, to serve
  • 18.40 gm rice bran oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 long red chilli, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1 stick lemongrass, finely chopped (white part only)
  • 3cm piece fresh ginger, cut into thin matchsticks
  • 16.00 gm brown sugar
  • 42.00 gm soy sauce
  • 42.00 gm lime juice
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh coriander
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with 2 sheets of foil that overlap slightly on one side and place a sheet of baking paper on top.
  • Score the fish on both sides without cutting too deep. Lay fish in the center of a piece of baking paper. Stuff the cavity with fresh coriander and lime slices. Season generously with pepper. Fold the sides and ends of the paper to seal the fish.
  • Bake until the fish easily flakes with a fork, about 50 minutes.
  • Prepare the Crunchy Asian-style dressing by heating oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic, chilli, lemongrass, and ginger for 5 minutes until fragrant. Let it cool for 10 minutes. In a small jug, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, and coriander. Whisk thoroughly and mix in the cooled garlic mixture.
  • Gently place fish on a serving plate and drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with extra coriander, green onion, and fried shallots. Serve immediately.
