Thai Style Whole Snapper


For something different when cooking fish, try this delicious Thai style whole snapper. It is a really healthy meal, served with white rice and some asian greens.

Ingredients
2 garlic cloves
1 Tbsp fish sauce
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 Tbsp sweet chilli sauce
2 Tbsp chopped fresh coriander
1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp white wine
600g whole snapper, cleaned and scaled
2 spring onions, cut into julienne strips

Method
1 Place the garlic, fish sauce, lemon juice, ginger, chilli sauce, coriander, rice wine vinegar and wine in a jug and mix together well.
2 Place the snapper on a large piece of tinfoil on a baking tray. Pour the marinade over the fish and sprinkle with the spring onion.
3 Wrap the foil around the fish like a parcel and bake in the oven for 20-30mins at 190Celsius. Alternatively, throw it on the BBQ - which is exactly what we did tonight. The fish doesn't look so pretty once it's cooked, but it is delicious!

If you have a large fish, I suggest doubling the marinade recipe. Oh, and by the way, the recipe came from the step-by-step series, Curry and Chilli. Enjoy!
