How to Make Garlic Fish
- Marinate the fish: In a bowl, combine 1 lb fish fillets (e.g., cod, snapper, or tilapia), 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Marinate for at least 2 hours (or longer for deeper flavor).
- Sauté aromatics: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp minced ginger and 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add spices: Stir in 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Add fish and sauce: Add 2 chopped spring onions, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 cup fish sauce (or soy sauce), and the marinated fish to the wok.
- Cook quickly: Cook on high heat for 2 minutes, stirring gently.
- Simmer and dry: Cover the wok and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened. If the sauce is too watery, uncover and cook for another minute or two to reduce.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped cilantro and 1 tbsp chopped spring onions. Serve hot with steamed rice.
- Enjoy! This recipe will elevate any dinner party.
