Ingredients

Scale

Fish

  • 4 (4 oz.) fish fillets

Marinade

  • ½ tablespoon finely chopped garlic
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare it for broiling the fish fillets.
  2. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, thoroughly mix finely chopped garlic, lime zest, lime juice, rice vinegar, fish sauce, chili garlic sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, and salt to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Marinate Fish: Pour the marinade into a deep plate. Dip both sides of each fish fillet into the sauce, ensuring they are well coated and absorb the flavors.
  4. Prepare Foil Packet: Place each marinated fish fillet on a piece of aluminum foil. Fold up the sides of the foil slightly to create a shallow bed that will hold the marinade, then pour any remaining sauce over the fillets.
  5. Broil Fish: Arrange the foil packets on a cooking sheet and place on the top rack of the oven. Broil the fish for 10 minutes, allowing the high heat to roast the fish and intensify the marinade flavors.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven carefully. Serve your roasted Thai chili lime fish immediately and enjoy the vibrant, zesty taste.

Notes

  • Use a firm white fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia for best results.
  • Adjust chili garlic sauce quantity to control the spiciness according to your preference.
  • Broiling time may vary slightly depending on your oven; fish should flake easily when done.
  • Serve with steamed rice or a fresh salad to complement the tangy flavors.
  • To prevent sticking, lightly oil the aluminum foil before placing fish on it.
