Method

  1. Coat the fish fillets in the cornflour, then set aside. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, sizzle the fillets for 2-3 mins on each side until crisp, then remove and keep warm. In the same pan, briefly fry the spring onion, garlic and ginger, then add the soy sauce, brown sugar and lime juice and simmer until slightly syrupy. Spoon the sauce over the fish, scatter with chilli, Thai basil or coriander, then serve with the lime wedges.

    Really tasty and so simple. I used river cobbler which fried really well. I doubled up on the sauce quantity but used half soy sauce and half fish sauce. The fresh Thai basil gives a wonderful flavour. My normally fish-phobic husband loved it!

    Made this last night and it was amazing. It tastes just like the the food we had in Thailand. I didn't have any Thai basil so I just ground up some star anise and put it in the sauce to get that aniseed flavour. Will definitely be making this again, its so quick and simple to make!

    We've been making this recipe for over a year now since finding it here and we loved it from day one. It's simple, easy and (for us) a new way to cook fish. We love the sauce and have followed the advice other users suggested: to add more spring onions, soy sauce and sugar. At times we've used lemons instead of limes and that works well too. I'd say go for it to give your meals a change.
