TGIF!
Breathe a sigh of relief. Friday is here at last.
Tonight we are staying home and because I don’t want to slave in the kitchen we are going for an old favourite - Ginger and Lemongrass Fish. This is fast, easy and healthy, and something about the flavours seems to kick the weekend off with a zing. Most of the ingredients can be bought in a jar or tube which makes for a lazy preparation.
Ginger - Lemongrass Fish. (serves 2)
1 tbsp chopped lemongrass
1 tspn minced ginger
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp (or to taste) minced chili
2 pieces firm white fish fillet.
Mix all the ingredients, except the fish, into a paste. Rub it all over the fish and then leave the fish to marinate for about 5 minutes.
Heat a heavy based pan to a high heat and place the fish in it. Seal the fish and then turn it over. Lower the heat to medium and cook through.
That’s it. Simple. We usually serve it with salads from the deli or with steamed vegetables.
