Jeow Paa is a flavorful Laotian fish dip, expertly crafted with fresh herbs, spices, and grilled fish, served with crispy vegetables and sticky rice for a delightful culinary experience.
Clean the fish thoroughly and cut it into fillets. Season with salt and lime juice. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
In a mortar and pestle, pound the garlic and bird's eye chili together until they form a paste. Add fish sauce and mix well.
Preheat the grill or a pan over medium heat. Grill the fish fillets for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky.
Serve the grilled fish with the chili sauce drizzled over the top. Garnish with fresh coriander.
