👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
Score the sides of the fish with a few diagonal cuts. This helps the marinade penetrate and cook evenly.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Make sure not to cut too deep, just through the skin and flesh. - 2
In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, 2 tbsp of vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Pounding the lemongrass in a mortar and pestle will release more of its aromatic oils. - 3
Rub the marinade all over the fish, inside the cavity, and into the scores. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Marinating longer will result in a more intense flavor. - 4
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. If grilling, preheat your grill.

Carefully place the marinated fish in the hot skillet or on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook fish in batches if necessary. - 6
Once cooked, remove the fish from the heat. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley before serving.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Serve immediately with a side of rice, fried plantains, or a fresh salad.
