Preparation

Directions

1. Prepare the Fish

Clean the fish thoroughly and cut it into fillets. Season with salt and lime juice. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

2. Make the Chili Sauce

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.

3. Grill the Fish

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.

4. Serve

Serve the grilled fish with the chili sauce drizzled over the top. Garnish with fresh coriander.
