I used Brill here which is a nice and meaty fish. The Thai nam jim sauce is spicy, salty, sweet, sour and fragrant all at once. A real flavour bomb that complements the baked fish. You can use any whole white fish such as brill, bass or bream. Rub salt and oil all over the fish, stuff some lemongrass, sliced limes and kaffir lime leaves into the fish's cavity, bake at 200c for 25mins. Make the sauce by pounding these ingredients with a pestle and mortar: Large handful of fresh coriander. 2 kaffir lime leaves
3 garlic cloves
2 green or red birds eye chillies
Sea salt
2 shallots
2 tbsp fish sauce
Juice of 2 limes
3 tbsp brown sugar #recipe #homecooking
