How to Make Baked Thai Style Fish

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using fish fillets (about 1 lb), pat them dry and season with salt and pepper. If using a whole fish (about 1 kg/2.2 lbs), clean and scale it, then score the skin in a few places for even cooking.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1-2 teaspoons finely minced red chilies (adjust to taste), and 1 clove minced garlic.
  4. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed; add more fish sauce or oyster sauce if desired.
  5. Place the fish in a baking dish. Pour the sauce over the fish, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes for fillets, or 25-30 minutes for a whole fish, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
