Directions

Start by preparing the fish, make sure the cavity is clean and cut the fins off and score the flesh on both sides.
Then fill it with 1/2 the ginger, the lemongrass and the limes.
Place the fish onto an oiled tray and pour more oil over the top, season it with salt.
Place some more ginger on the top of the fish.
Roast the fish in the oven on 220°c-240°c for 20-25 minutes.
For the sauce, mix together the soy, yuzu and mirin.
Then, heat the grapeseed oil in a pot until it’s really hot.
Once the fish is cooked, place it onto the serving dish and put the spring onion whites, chilli, garlic and any ginger left on top.
Carefully pour over the hot oil and then pour over the sauce.
Garnish it with the green spring onions and she's good to go!
Serve with some fried rice and enjoy!
