Grilled Lemongrass Fish - Cambodia traditional dish

🧂 재료

2 medium Trout or other white fish(cleaned, cut shallow slits on both sides)
2 stalks Lemongrass stalks(white part only, thinly sliced)
3 cloves Garlic cloves
3 medium Shallots
1 thumb-sized piece Galangal(thinly sliced)
2 small Thai chilies(optional, for spice)
3 leaves Kaffir lime leaves(thinly sliced)
2 tbsp Fish sauce
1 tbsp Sugar

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a mortar and pestle, pound the sliced lemongrass, garlic, shallots, galangal, Thai chilies (if using), and kaffir lime leaves into a fine paste.
💡 전문가 팁: Alternatively, a food processor can be used.
2
In a large bowl, combine the lemongrass paste with fish sauce and sugar. Mix well.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the sugar is dissolved.
3
Marinate the fish in the mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat with a little oil.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the grill grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
5
Grill the fish for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly charred. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
💡 전문가 팁: Avoid overcooking to keep the fish moist.
6
Serve the grilled lemongrass fish hot, with steamed rice and fresh vegetables or a side salad.
