Tom Yum Baked Grey Mullet

Serving 2
Preparation Time 15 mins
Skill Intermediate
Ingredients

500g, 1 whole Grey Mullet
1 Onion (sliced)
2 Lemongrass (sliced and bruised)
2 pcs Kaffir Lime Leaves (crushed)
1 bunch Coriander (stem and roots for cooking, leaves for garnish)
10 Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
1 Green Lime (sliced)

MARINADE
3 tbsp FairPrice Tom Yum Paste
1 tbsp Light Soya Sauce
1 tbsp Cooking Oil

Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 200ÂșC.
  2. Mix marinade and pour over fish, making sure both surface and inside of fish are well coated with the marinade. Set the fish aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
  3. Arrange sliced onion on a greased baking pan and lay the fish on top. Stuff lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaves and the stems/roots of the coriander into the fish.
  4. Arrange cherry tomatoes around the fish. Drizzle 2 tbsp water over the fish (this will help to create steam during baking, which helps the fish to be cooked evenly).
  5. Bake the fish for 20 minutes, carefully turning it once, halfway into baking. Change to grill mode (top heat only) and bake for another 3 minutes to brown the top of the fish.
  6. Squeeze lime juice over baked fish and garnish with coriander leaves and lime slices.
