12 minute sticky Asian Sea Bass – Soft, flaky sea bass with a sweet and spicy flavour kick.
Cook time: 12 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 red chilli finely chopped
- 4 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce replace with tamari for gluten-free
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- 2 cloves of garlic peeled and minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice (the juice from half a small lime)
- 4 sea bass fillets skin on
- ½ tsp cornflour/cornstarch
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
Method
Step 1 Preheat the oven to 200C/400F (fan)
Step 2 Mix the oil, chilli, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and lime in a small bowl.
Step 3 Place the sea bass fillets, skin-side down, on a baking tray. Sprinkle on the cornflour and rub it into the fish gently.
Step 4 Spoon on the honey-soy sauce mix (it will pour off a little, but that's fine). Sprinkle on the sugar and place in the oven to cook for 8 minutes. Halfway through cooking, open the oven and baste the fish with the sauce in the tray (it will be stickier now it's been in the oven).
Step 5 Once the fish is cooked, take it out of the oven and baste again with sauce, then sprinkle the top with coriander (cilantro), spring onion (scallion) strips, and slices of chilli.
Step 6 Serve with lime slices and some boiled rice or salad.
