Baked Thai-Style Fish

01Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (or 180°C fan-forced). Prepare two large sheets of foil, sized generously to enclose the fish. Place the trout skin-side down on each foil sheet.

2. 2

   Combine the chopped lemongrass, minced ginger, fish sauce, lime juice, sliced chili, minced garlic, sugar, and cilantro in a bowl.

3. 3

   Spread half of the seasoning mixture over the trout fillets, then top each with a second fillet skin-side up to create a sandwich effect. Wrap each parcel tightly in foil.

4. 4

   Place the foil packets in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until cooked through. Allow to cool slightly, then transfer to the table still wrapped. Serve with the remaining sauce and jasmine rice if desired.
