'Grilled Pink Snapper'



Here's how to cook this delicious meal for family and friends:

* 1. 2kg Pink fresh snapper or any other types of fish.
Marinated it with lemon + salt + pepper for about 15minutes to get rid of fishy smell (some people are so sensitive), then cover fish with ingredients below for 2 hours..so that fish will absorb all these herbs throughout.

Minced/blendered till form paste:
4-5 cuts of shaloot (the more the better because they will enhance the taste and aroma)
6-7 cuts of garlic
2tsp tumeric
2 tbsp coriander powder
2tsp fresh ginger
1 tsp white pepper and salt
2cm galanga
1/4 cup of coconut milk (if desired, optional)

* Banana leaves prefered to get the aroma, otherwise just foil. Put banana leaved as a base to cover the whole fish later on.
* Other ingredients spread out on base and top of the fish for a great flavors are (cut thinly):
10 pcs bay leaves (dry or fresh)
10 pcs lime leaves (dry or fresh)
2 tomatoes, cut small
10 pcs fresh basil
10cm lemongrass
3-4 stalks green onion

* Cover fish with banana leaves and steam it for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
* Last but not least: grill fish till it smells good..this is the most fun part where you pick the fruits from your labor. You just can't wait to finish it all out.

Bon Apetit..^_*

Note: All the ingredients above are just estimated, you can explore it by adding more because that can only make the flavour richer and better. You can also adjust them, depends on how big he fish is.
