Method
Prepare the Fish
Clean and Season the Fish
Clean the whole fish, removing any scales and guts. Pat it dry and rub the outside and inside with salt and juice from half the lime. Drizzle olive oil over the fish.
Roast the Fish
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the fish on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Make the Green Curry Sauce
Cook the Curry
In a saucepan over medium heat, add the green curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Add fish sauce and sugar, and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Prepare Fried Garlic
Fry the Garlic
Thinly slice the garlic cloves. Heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make Coconut Rice
Cook the Rice
In a pot, combine jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and fluffy.
