    5 stars

    This one is definitely a 5-star ! I made it yesterday. It was ready in no time and absolutely delicious. I used aluminum foil, no seasoning added, only the coconut sauce, and served with a ready-made microwavable rice, soy and sesame mix, and with the juice from the zested lime. Absolutely perfect. The fish I used was "lieu jaune", I don't have a clue what its English name could be. I used 250g filets, and the grilling took a bit less than 10 minutes, because our bbq comes with a lid, which I kept closed during the whole process.
