INSTRUCTIONS

Fish

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

With a sharp chef’s knife, make 3 diagonal incisions into each side of the fish, going almost to the bone. Season all over with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity of the fish with some of the ginger, lemongrass and garlic, and all of the cilantro sprigs.

In a small pot, heat the oil until very hot. Remove from the heat and add the green onions and chili peppers. 

Spread half of the hot green onion mixture along the bottom of a Rectangular Casserole with Lid. Place the fish over the mixture, then cover with the remaining hot mixture. Top with the remaining ginger, lemongrass and garlic.

Place the lid on the Casserole and roast the fish in the oven for 15 minutes. 


Sauce

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients.

Remove the lid from the Casserole and pour the sauce over the fish. Continue to roast the fish without the lid for 10 minutes or until the flesh easily flakes apart.

Remove the Casserole from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with the fresh cilantro and Thai basil, as well as the green onions, chili peppers and lime wedges. With a spoon, separate the fillets from the bone. Serve immediately.
