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
- Preheat the oven to 200ÂșC.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- Squeeze lime juice over baked fish and garnish with coriander leaves and lime slices.
