Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons finely sliced fresh ginger
  • 6 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime rind
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 6 firm white fish fillets
  • 2 kaffir lime leaves, finely shredded
  • fresh herb (I suggest cilantro)
  • lime wedge (to garnish)

Method

  • Combine the oil, ginger, spring onions, garlic, sugar, vinegar, fish sauce, lime rind and juice in a small bowl and mix well.
  • Place fish fillets in a single layer in a large shallow dish.
  • Pour the ginger mixture over the fish.
  • Cover and marinate in fridge for 1 hour.
  • Place each fish fillet onto a piece of lightly oiled foil.
  • Top each one with some of the ginger mixture from the dish and some lime leaves.
  • Fold in the edges of the foil and enclose fish well.
  • Cook the packets on a grill or BBQ for about 15 minutes or until cooked through (cooking time will depend on the heat of your grill and thickness of fish).
  • Open the top of each packet and sprinkle with herbs and garnish with a lime wedge.
  • Goes well with stir-fried Asian vegetables and rice.
