Main Ingredients
Marinade
3 candlenuts
4 shallots
3 garlic cloves
1 tbsp turmeric powder
1 tsp coriander powder
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
Basting sauce
¼ cup ABC Kecap Manis (sweet soy sauce)
1 tbsp butter or margarine (melted)
2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
To Prep
Clean and pat dry the fish with paper towels. Use a sharp knife and make a few deep scores on both sides of the fish.
Spread the lime juice all over the fish to get rid of the fishy smell.
Using a mortar & pestle or grinder, pound all the marinade spices together and mix in the oil.
Spread the marinade all over the fish (both sides) making sure to go in between the scored marks.
Cover and let them hang out in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
To Cook
Heat up your griddle or grill pan. Add some oil to make sure to prevent the fish from sticking.
Gently put in the fish and grill until cooked. Different fish vary in different sizes so cooking time might differ.
When the fish is about done, brush the sweet sauce all over the fish and continue to cook for another few minutes.
