Okay, Buy fish cleaned scaled and gutted. Chop up an equal mix of ginger, garlic, chili and mix. Chop up a bunch of coriander and leaves of mint. Cut lemon into slices.
Pat dry the fish and cut diagonally across the fish with a sharp knife. Rub the garlic, chili, ginger, salt and pepper, mixture into the fish on both sides. Place some inside also.
Place the fish on a large sheet of foil in the middle. Place lemon slices on the fish. Sprinkle coriander.
Fold up the foil to make a parcel leaving room for the hot air to steam the fish. Double fold the top seam of the foil.
Heat the oven to 180 and bake for about 20 – 30 minutes. The foil will have risen to resemble a dangerous camping pillow.
Delicious with rice and nice white wine.? Remember to thank The Virgin St Carmen for the little fishes!? Enjoy!
