This is an easy baked fish recipe and it's perfect for freshwater fish like Tilapia. I cheated and used ready-made sambal olek, which is so much easier. Heh, I am just plain lazy. B said it's somewhat like ikan panggang (grilled fish over charcoal fire) minus the banana leaves.
Ingredients
1 whole Tilapia
3 tbsp of sambal olek
1 tbsp oil
Sea salt
1 lime
Method
Clean, scale and gut the fish but leave whole. Score the broad side of fish diagonally across both sides and lightly rub fish with sea salt. Fill the openings with sambal olek. Set aside for 15 minutes, preferably keep it refrigerated to preserve freshness.
Pre-heat oven to 200°C. Place fish on an oiled aluminium foil and lightly cover/wrap it. Bake at 200°C for about 25 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the fish.
Squeeze one lime over fish and serve immediately.
