- 4 cm (1 1/2in) piece root ginger, sliced
- 1 lemongrass stalk, outer leaves removed and roughly chopped
- 1tbsp chopped fresh or kaffir lime leaves in brine, drained (we like Thai Taste, £1.19 for 200g)
- 6 x 300 g (11oz) sea bass or bream, filleted into 12 fillets
- Small bunch spring onions, shredded
- Small bunch coriander, roughly chopped
- 1 lime, sliced
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Put the ginger, lemongrass and lime leaves into a food processor. Whiz until the mixture forms a paste. Slash each fish fillet three times on the skin side, taking care not to cut through to the flesh.
- Step 2
Lay six of the fillets skin-side down in a roasting tin and divide the ginger and lemongrass paste among them. Top with spring onion, coriander and lime slices. Lay the remaining six fish fillets on top, skin side up.
- Step 3
Bake for 15-20min until cooked through. Serve with the sesame rice and stir-fried vegetables.
