Sambal Fish Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix sambal oelek, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. This will be the marinade for the fish.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fish is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fish

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove the fish from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.

  4. 4

    Add the Marinade

    Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet during the last minute of cooking to add flavor.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the sambal fish over a bed of cooked rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
