Green Fish Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large wok, and fry the onion, ginger and garlic for about 5 minutes or until softened.
• Add the green curry paste, and fry for another 2 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk, water, lime juice and fish sauce and bring to the boil.
• Reduce to a simmer and add the fish, and any of the longer-to-cook vegetables you have chosen and cook for about 5 minutes (I added the beans along with the fish).
• Also add about half the fresh coriander.
• Add the remaining softer vegetables, and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, being careful not to overcook the fish, or knock it around too much as you stir through the vegetables.
• Stir through the fresh herbs gently.
• Serve in deep bowls over steamed rice, scattered with the fresh spring onions.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment.
• In a food processor, whizz up the lime juice, cilantro, mint, fish sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, pepper, and oil.
• Cut 4 to 5 slits on each side of the fish, almost down to the bone.
• Divide the cilantro paste in half. Rub 1 portion of the paste all over fish, especially into the slits and the cavity of the fish. Reserve the other half for serving.
• Take a large piece of foil and form a loose ball. Stuff it into the cavity so that you can make the fish "sit" on the baking sheet, belly facing down, ridge of the fish's back facing the ceiling. It'll look as if the fish is swimming on the baking sheet!
• Bake until the eyes turn solid white and the flesh flakes easily, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the fish.
• Taste the leftover marinade, and add juice from the other half of the lime. Serve marinade on the side with the fish.
