Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb. (0.4 kg) fish fillet or whole fish (for example: red snapper)
6 oz. (170 g) fresh red chilies, seeded and cut into small pieces
4 oz. (115 g) shallots
1 tablespoon toasted belacan (Malaysian shrimp paste)
2 lemongrass cut into thin slices
4 tablespoons oil
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons fish sauce to taste
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 lime or 1 calamansi lime, extract the juice
tamarind pulp (ping pong ball size)
8 tablespoons water
3 fresh red chilies, seeded
2 bird's eye chilies, seeded
1 teaspoon toasted belacan
sugar to taste
salt to taste
2 shallots, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Prepare the sambal by grinding chilies, shallots, belacan and lemongrass in a food processor. Make sure the sambal paste is well blended and smooth.
  • Heat up a wok and add the oil. "Tumis" (stir-fry) the sambal paste until aromatic or when the oil separates from the sambal paste. Add the seasonings: salt, fish sauce and sugar and do a quick stirs, dish out and set aside.
  • Soak the tamarind pulp with the water for 15 minutes and extract the juice. In a mortar and pestle or food processor, pound/blend the red chilies, bird's eye chilies and toasted belacan. Add tamarind juice, sugar, salt, and sliced shallots to the sambal. Stir well and set aside.
  • Lay a few sheets of banana leaves and grease the surface of the banana leaves with some oil. Lay the fish fillet on top of the banana leaves and rub the turmeric powder on both sides of the fish. Add about 2 - 3 tablespoons of sambal on top of the fish. Spread the sambal evenly. Drizzle the lime juice on the fish.
  • Place the fish on top of the grill (upper rack with indirect heat) and cover the grill. Wait for 8 minutes or so (depending on the heat) and flip the fish over to the other side.
  • Add 2 - 3 more tablespoons of sambal on the other side of the fish. Cook for another 8 minutes or until the fish is cooked.
  • Transfer the fish and the banana leaves to the lower rack and grill for a couple of minutes with direct heat, or when you smell the sweet aroma of burnt banana leaves.
  • Transfer out and serve immediately with sambal belacan and sliced shallots condiment.

SPICY GRILLED FISH



Spicy Grilled Fish image

This is a really tasty, economical and different way to enjoy fish! Lots of flavor from the marinade and easy clean up! Winners in my book. I am sure this would work very well on any firm, mild fish. When I made this I was a little crunched in the time department so I only got to marinade it for 1 hour and it was delicious. Plan ahead! This is best marinated for at least an hour but no more than 2 hours. In a pinch, just let it marinate while the grill is heating.

  • Prep the fish: Clean and pat dry the fish fillets before grilling. Season them with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices.
  • Grill the fish: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the fish with oil to prevent sticking and grill for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • Use a marinade: Marinating the fish before grilling adds flavor and moisture. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
  • Use a cedar plank: Cooking the fish on a cedar plank infuses it with a smoky flavor. Soak the plank in water for 30 minutes before grilling.
