Ingredients:

  • 2 whole sea bream, each weighing 700g and cleaned
  • 8 stalks of lemongrass, halved lengthways

Marinade:

  • 6 red chillies (3 deseeded), chopped
  • 3 shallots, chopped
  • 8 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 2 thumb-sized pieces of ginger, grated
  • Zest and juice of 4 limes
  • 2 stalks of lemongrass, finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp fish sauce
  • 4 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce

Directions:

  1. Use a food processor to blend the marinade ingredients into a smooth paste.
