VIETNAMESE-STYLE BAKED FISH

I am obsessed with all things Vietnamese! (Okay maybe just the food for now)

They are always so simple and so healthy.

This fish dish is a personal favourite, not to mention a hit when we made it for a girls’ night in dinner the other day. And it's so tasty, I definitely make it even when I'm not on a detox. They key is to make sure that everything is fresh – it really does make a difference to the whole dish!
This serves 1 if you’re eating just fish with vegetables.

What You Need:
1 fresh, medium-sized seabass, cleaned and scaled
1 handful fresh coriander
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
4 cherry tomatoes
1 lemongrass
2 small bird’s eye chili, crushed
2 slices fresh ginger
For the dressing:
2 tbsp. lime juice
1tsp raw brown sugar
3 tbsp. fish sauce
​A few drops of sesame oil

What You Do:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius
2. In a lined baking pan, place fish. Make sure there is enough foil to be able to wrap the whole fish.
3. Stuff the fish with all of the ingredients. Scatter the rest under and around the fish.
4. Mix the dressing and taste. It should be sour, sweet and a little salty. Adjust accordingly.
5. Pour dressing all over the fish
6. Wrap the fish up in the foil. Chuck into oven.
7. Go for a shower, or stalk someone on Instagram for 20 minutes.
8. Take fish out. Serve with some roasted vegetables.
