After my short Texas trip, I went home with a fridge full of turkey bacon. I guess that sums up the meals my husband has been having while I am away. He doesn't cook but at least he does the dishes so well. So, this is what I made him for dinner. A thai-inspired baked fish as a treat.
I forgot the kind of fish we bought for this recipe.
Baking fish is the easiest to make for me. I hate frying because I don't like oil splattering on me and the kitchen gets messy every time. And it is not very healthy too. Try this one out, you might like it.Ingredients:
1-2 Whole fish of your choice
3 Cloves garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon ginger, julienne
5 Tablespoons Lee Kum Kee vegetable stiry fry or Oyster sauce
4 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 Teaspoon fish sauce
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
Dash of black pepper
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Teaspoon Lee Kum Kee chili-garlic sauce
Handful of coriander or cilantro for garnish
Foil for wrapping or if you have banana leaves for a more authentic feel
Cooking Instructions:
- Have your fishmonger from your local market clean the fish. It is easier that way.
- Make 2 slits on both sides of the fish to cook them evenly on the inside. Rinse with cold water and pat dry.
- Mix all the ingredients together for the marinade. Taste test and adjust the saltiness.
- Arrange the fish in a baking pan lined with foil.
- Pour the marinade over the fish. Making sure to spread them evenly. Cover with foil and let sit for 30 minutes or so.
- When ready to bake, make sure to preheat the oven at 400 degrees.
- Bake for 15.20 minutes, Make sure not to overcook. If the fish flakes if poked with a fork, it is done.
- Serve with lemon wedges and cilantro for garnishing.
