Serves 2
2 fillets of fish
1” piece of fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves
1 red onion
1 lime
1 red chilli
soy sauce
Chinese 5 spice powder
salt and pepper
Place the fish filets skin side up and make 3 cuts about 1cm deep in the skin. Sprinkle with 5 spice powder, salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and set aside. Put the oven on to (Gas 6/ 200ºC). Chop up the piece of ginger, the red onion, the garlic, the red chilli, 2 or 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and the lime. Liquidise these ingredients with ½ tsp. of 5 spice powder in a blender or a food processor. (I started off with the big jug blender but found that the ‘stick’ hand blender worked better). If the sauce looks a bit too stiff, add some water. Put the sauce in an oven proof dish and place the fillets into it skin side up. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until the skin is crisp and the flesh cooked. Time taken: about 40 minutes
