Baked Chilli Fish Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Simmer the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 5 mins until just tender. Drain and set aside.
• Slash the flesh of the fish three times in a criss-cross pattern on both sides. Rub with the olive oil, then season with sea salt and black pepper. Pop the bashed garlic cloves and lemon slices into the cavity of the fish. Lay the potatoes and all the tomatoes in the bottom of a baking dish and season. Lay the fish on top and cook for 20-25 mins, or until the thickest part of the fish is cooked through (the flesh should come away from the bone easily and look opaque). Remove the fish, cover to keep warm and cook the potatoes and tomatoes for 10 mins more.
• To make the salsa, tip the watercress, herbs, chilli and capers into a food processor and pulse to finely chop, drizzling in a bit of the extra virgin olive oil as you do. Mix in the remaining oil, then the garlic and lemon juice, and season to taste. Put the veg on a serving platter, sit the fish on top and drizzle with the salsa to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to a hot 220 degree C.
• Make 4 deep slits diagonally across both sides of the fish.

• Fill the cavity of the fish with layers of lime slices and ginger slices.
• Combine the oil, fish sauce, grated ginger and garlic in a small bowl.
• Rub mixture into the cuts in the fish and all over the surface.
• Bring foil around fish so it will contain the cooking juices but do not cover the top of the fish.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, or until almost cooked through.
• While fish is baking, combine the palm sugar, chilli, extra fish sauce and lime juice in a small bowl.
• Spoon this mixture over the fish and bake for another 5 minutes or until fish is just cooked through.
• You can use 2 800gram fish if you prefer, but cut the cooking time to 15 minutes.
• The fish can be rubbed with the ginger mixture up to 6 hours ahead, but only bake just before serving.
