If you want to make a meal as a reminder of all things Thai but would rather not try the ubiquitous Thai Red and Green Curries for your dinner on a bed of rice, my guess is you’ll find this simple dish with fish very delightful.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fillet of firm fish
- Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce
- Garlic Salt
- Japanese Rice Vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Sesame Oil
Method
1.Mix the sweet chilli sauce, vinegar and 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
2.Cover one side of the fish with the sauce mixture.
3.Sprinkle with the salt, rub well.
4.Flip the fillet and rub the other side similarly.
5.Marinate for a couple of hours in the refrigerator.
6.Quickly fry both sides in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a non-stick pan.
7.Flip over again, cover and leave for about 5 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness of the fillet), till it is lightly caramelised and the sauce has darkened considerably, but not burnt.
8.Serve on a flat white plate, pour sauce from pan on to the fish.
Tips
It may be interesting to slice it on the table into thin slices. If the fish isn’t the firm kind, don’t try slicing it or you’ll end up with scrambled fish.
