Creating a perfect Thai Chili Lime Fish requires fresh ingredients that capture the essence of Thai cuisine. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 large white fish fillets (such as snapper, seabass, or cod)
  • 3 tablespoons of fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 Thai red chilies, finely chopped
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Making Thai Chili Lime Fish is straightforward, but it requires attention to detail to bring out the authentic flavors. Follow these steps for a successful dish:

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    • In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.
    • Stir in the minced garlic, chopped chilies, and grated ginger to combine.
  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 the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to seep in.
  3. Preheat the Pan:
    • Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  4. Cook the Fish:
    • Remove the fish from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
    • Place the fillets in the pan, cooking each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Prepare the Sauce:
    • While the fish is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan.
    • Bring it to a simmer over low heat for about 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Serve:
    • Place the cooked fish on a serving platter.
    • Drizzle the thickened sauce over the fish.
    • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and lime wedges.
