Instructions

Here's the step-by-step process of creating this Thai-inspired dish.

1. Clean and Marinate: Rinse the fish under cold water, pat dry, and place it in a shallow dish. Combine the marinade ingredients and pour them over the fish, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let the fish marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to an hour, turning it occasionally.

2. Prep the Ingredients: While the fish marinates, prepare the Chinese greens, capsicum, and other veggies if using. Chop the basil and coriander leaves, slice the fresh chilies and lime or lemon wedges, and set them aside in the fridge until ready to cook.

3. Cook the Fish: Heat coconut oil in a medium-large pan on medium heat. Place the marinated fish in the pan, reserving the marinade for later. Cook the fish until lightly golden on both sides (approximately 3-5 minutes per side).

4. Add Veggies and Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Mix corn starch with water, and stir it into the reserved marinade. Pour the marinade over the fish and add the Chinese greens, capsicum, and basil leaves around the fish. Gently simmer for 3-4 minutes, turning the fish once while cooking. Stir the sauce and veggies until the sauce thickens.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the fish, veggies, and sauce on a platter or individual plates. Serve the dish with fragrant basil rice, and garnish with spring onions, chili flakes, fresh chili slices, and coriander leaves if desired. Place lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of tangy flavour.
