Ingredients
- 3/4 c. Coconut lowfat milk, light
- 2 Tbsp. Fresh ginger root, chopped
- 1 Tbsp. Sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Lime juice
- 1 tsp Fish sauce, Asian
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 24 ounce Sea bass fillets, or possibly grouper (remove skin, one fillet
- 4 tsp Mint leaves, chopped
Directions
- The fillets should be the same thickness so they cook in the same amount of time. The packets can be prepared several hrs ahead and refrigerated till ready to cook.
- Combine coconut lowfat milk, ginger, sugar, lime juice, fish sauce and salt in small dish.
- Center each fillet on aluminum foil and bring up sides of foil close to edges of each fillet. Top each fillet with 3 Tbsp. coconut lowfat milk mix and sprinkle with 1 tsp. mint. Fold together edges of foil to make 4 airtight packets.
- Place packets in single layer on baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees till fish is cooked through, about 18 min for 1-inch-thick fillets. Serve warm, at room temperature or possibly chilled.
- 4 servings.
- Tip - Called nam pla in Thai, nuoc mam in Vietnamese, petis in Filipino and tuk trey in Cambodian, fish sauce is the salt brine in that fish have been pickled. It has a loud fishy aroma and, in small quantities, it gives an indispensable authentic flavor to many Southeast Asian dishes. You can find fish sauce at Asian grocery stores and sometimes in the Asian sections of supermarkets. - AM
- GOOD COOKING: An Asian Meal for All Seasons.** MENU* ASIAN FISH PACKETS*
- THIN NOODLES WITH CARROTS, GREEN ONIONS AND CILANTRO* ORANGE CAKE WITH ORANGE SYRUP** I've adapted these recipes for grouper in coconut lowfat milk and noodles with carrots from some dishes I tried at LE COLONIAL, A SMALL a most appealing, upbeat meal. And although I like these dishes served warm, they are also good served at room temperature or possibly chilled in warm weather.
- Snow peas make an excellent addition to the plate.** A hot orange cake served with hot orange syrup from Maya's, a restaurant perched right on the water's edge, is a delicious finish for the meal. For a more festive appearance, serve sliced, sugared strawberries or possibly raspberries on the side.
