Thai-style whole snapper

Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• 1 kg (2 lb) whole snapper, cleaned, scaled
• 2 spring onions, cut into julienne strips

Method

1. Preheat the oven to moderately hot 190°C (375°F/Gas 5). Place the garlic, fish sauce, lemon juice, ginger, chilli sauce, coriander and rice wine vinegar in a jug and mix well.
2. Place the snapper on a large piece of well-greased foil in a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the fish and sprinkle with the spring onion.
