Portuguese Style Oven Grill Fish
PORTUGUESE STYLE OVEN GRILL FISH Oven grilled fish wrapped in banana leaves with a spicy sambal sauce. Now you can enjoy this at the comfort of your own home without traveling to Melaka to try out this classic dish! All you need are some simple ingredients. I suggest using a whole fish if you can ( like the one I'm using here). You can use any of your favorite fishes. The Sambal used in this recipe comes together so well to create a luscious flavour. Palm sugar and shallots create the difference in terms of colour and taste . Meanwhile fish sauce adds a unique and savory complexity to the Sambal. The salt level of fish sauce can easily overpower the dish if you use too much. Add salt after the fish sauce. A good taste test will tell you everything you need to know instantly. Wrapping the fish with banana leaf imparts an intense aroma and keeps the fish moist. You can either grill it on a barbeque pit or in the oven. The end result is equally tantalizing. Let's get grilling!
