GRILLED WHOLE FISH WITH LEMONGRASS, CHILES AND COCONUT
Spicy, herbal and a little sweet from the coconut milk, these grilled whole fish are perfumed with lemongrass and spiked with tiny, potent Thai chiles. I like dorade here, but you can use any small whole fish (1 pound or so). Have your fishmonger clean them but leave in the bones. They help keep the fish moist on the grill and add great flavor. You can also roast the fish instead of grilling; place them on a rimmed baking sheet and roast at 425 degrees until the fish is cooked through, usually 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Season cavities and outside of fish with salt and pepper. Rub skin all over with coconut oil.
- Thinly slice 1 lime and 1 shallot. Cut another lime into wedges and save for garnish. Fill each fish cavity with lime and shallot slices, a handful of cilantro stems (discard the rest) and the lemongrass.
- Prepare the sauce: Coarsely chop the remaining shallot and juice the remaining lime. In a mini food processor, combine shallot, 1 tablespoon lime juice, the cilantro leaves, the mint, the chile, the garlic, the fish sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pulse until herbs are chopped, then add coconut milk and oil. Continue to pulse until a coarse, chunky sauce forms. (Don't overdo it; you want a relish-like texture, not a purée.) Taste and add more salt, fish sauce and/or lime juice if necessary. (Alternatively, chop everything really finely by hand and stir in the coconut milk and lime juice.) Sauce can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead. Refrigerate until needed.
- Light or heat the grill to medium-high heat. Place fish in basket and grill until blistered and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Poke the fish along the spine; it should be tender but still juicy.) Serve, garnished with lime wedges and mint leaves, with sauce on the side.

LEMONGRASS FISH
Lemongrass, the seasoning most closely associated with Southeast Asia, plays a major role here, despite the presence of many other ingredients. Nothing else "cleans" the taste of the fish quite like it. Serve with any rice dish.
Yield 4 to 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the lemongrass, chile, and garlic in a food processor. Process until finely minced. Add the oil and process until pasty; stir in the herbs.
- Place the fish on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Make 2-inch-long cuts, about 1 inch apart, on each side of the fish. Stuff the cavity and the cuts with the herb mixture and spread the remaining mixture on top of the fish.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until the fish is done (the meat near the bone will appear opaque, and the flesh will flake). Serve immediately, with lime wedges.
WHOLE ROAST FISH WITH LEMONGRASS AND GINGER
A marinade packed with aromatics, like lemongrass, ginger, shallots and scotch bonnet chile, is crushed in a mortar and pestle and spread onto a mild white fish, such as a whole branzino, in this recipe. As with most marinades, the longer you let it steep, the better. Using the mortar and pestle is optional, but a highly rewarding process - and encouraged. If you have an asanka, the grooved surface will give the marinade a unique texture, with bouquets rising from the bowl as you work. Serve the roast fish flaked off the bone, over rice or alongside a fresh green salad.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Pat the body and inside of the fish dry, and space the fish evenly apart on an unlined sheet pan. Using a sharp knife, cut two diagonal slits, 2 inches apart, into the skin of each fish, making sure not to cut through to the bone. Repeat the slits on the other side. Drizzle both sides and the inside of the fish with 3 tablespoons oil, and season with the 1 1/2 tablespoons salt.
- Working in batches if necessary, transfer the lemongrass to the bowl of an asanka or a mortar. Use the pestle to pound the lemongrass pieces until crushed and fragrant. Move the crushed pieces to one side of the mortar bowl or the asanka. Add the ginger pieces and repeat the pounding process until they're crushed. Combine the ginger and the lemongrass. Add the scallion greens and scotch bonnet chile. Use the pestle to crush and combine these with the lemongrass mixture. Add the shallot and zest of 1 lemon, crush and combine with the pestle. Stir in the turmeric and coconut milk. (Makes about 1 1/4 cup marinade.) Alternatively, you can do this step in a food processor. Add in the ingredients in the order listed, and pulse them all together. Stir in the turmeric and coconut milk.
- Slice the zested lemon into 3 or 4 rounds. Spread the marinade generously over both sides of each fish and about 2 tablespoons into each cavity. Place a lemon slice, the white end of a scallion and some cilantro sprigs in each cavity. (At this point, the fish can be left to marinate for up to 30 minutes, or covered and refrigerated overnight.) Drizzle the tops of the fish with the remaining oil.
- Roast the fish until firm and cooked through, rotating the sheet pan once halfway through the process, about 22 to 25 minutes. Slice the remaining lemon into wedges. Serve the fish over steamed rice or alongside a hearty salad, with the lemon wedges for squeezing.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Soak the green lemongrass leaves in cold water and set aside.
- Mix together the diced lemongrass, soy sauce, garlic, spring onion, red chile and ginger in a bowl.
- Lay the fish on a chopping board. Create a fillet by using a sharp filleting knife to slice from the spine of the fish down to the belly without cutting the fillet off. Just leave it lying open.
- Now add the lemongrass mixture to the inside of the fish and close the fillet back up.
- Secure the fish by tying it up with the lemongrass leaves. Brush the fish with the vegetable oil, and then char grill the fish, 10 minute per side. Cut the lemongrass leaves and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Wash the sea bass inside and out, and pat dry with kitchen paper. Score across the fish and through the skin 4-5 times on each side, then lay the fish on a large piece of oiled foil, big enough to wrap it up loosely.
- Put the lemongrass, chillies, garlic and ginger into a mortar with the honey and 1 tbsp of the oil. Squeeze in the juice of one of the limes. Bash a few times with the pestle until everything's bruised - there's no need to grind it finely.
- Season the fish inside and out. Scrape out half the pounded mixture over the fish, add the last of the oil and rub everything in, making sure you push some into the cuts.
- Cut the second lime into quarters and push two pieces into the cavity along with the remainder of the pounded mixture. Fold each kaffir lime leaf in half and tear out the central vein to give you two halves. Push these into the cavity, too.
- Squeeze the juice from the last two lime quarters over the fish and pull the sides of the foil up to create a loose parcel. Crimp the edges to seal, making sure there is some space around the fish.
- Bake for 25 minutes. If you're eating the fish straight away, let it rest for about 5 minutes before opening the parcel. If you're taking it to a picnic, wrap it in another layer of foil the minute it's out of the oven.

- Using the back of a knife, lightly smash lemongrass, then thinly slice. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots and fennel, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until softened, 6–8 minutes. Add onion and jalapeño and cook, stirring often, until softened, 5–7 minutes. Add garlic, lemongrass, lemon zest, bay leaf, and ginger and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 5–7 minutes.
- Add wine, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until almost completely reduced, about 2 minutes. Mix in lemon juice, tomato paste, sugar, and pink peppercorns. Add tomatoes, breaking up with your hands; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes (you want to infuse tomatoes while keeping them fresh-tasting). Let cool slightly.
- Working in batches, blend broth to a coarse purée; strain through fine-mesh sieve and discard solids. Return broth to pot.
- Preheat oven to 425°. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, swirling, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Brush cut sides of baguette with garlic butter.

- Preheat oven to 400°F. Finely chop four green onions. In a small bowl combine chopped green onions, lemongrass, ginger, and oil; set aside. Cut four 15-inch-long pieces of parchment paper. Fold each in half like a book, creasing the center. Open papers and spread an even amount of the lemongrass mixture across the middle of one side of each paper.
- Cut the remaining green onions into 2-inch pieces. Top lemongrass mixture evenly with green onions, mushrooms, and peppers. Drizzle lightly with sriracha. Place fish on vegetables; add a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt. Top with cilantro.
- Fold parchment over food. Seal packets: Starting at the bottom folded edge, crease the corner up at an angle. Working in 2-inch sections, continue creasing open edges, overlapping each fold. Make sure folds are creased tightly so they don't open. Finish by tucking the last flap underneath packet (packet will be a half-moon shape). Transfer filled packets to a baking sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes.* Make a narrow slit and check if fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (Bake 1 to 2 minutes more, if needed.) Open packets carefully to serve. Makes 4 servings. *Tip: If fish fillets are 3/4 to 1 inch thick, increase baking time to 20 to 25 minutes.
