Whole Fish Recipe Method

Wash the fish well, inside and out, under the tap and dry off with kitchen paper.
Line a large oven tray, big enough to hold it, with cooking foil and grease well with some of the olive oil.
Lay the fish on the tray, open it up where it has been cleaned, and season with salt and ground black pepper.
Then evenly stuff the inside with the garlic, ginger, chilli, lime zest and juice, 1/2 the pine nuts and 3/4 of the coriander.
Close the fish up and sprinkle the remaining coriander and pine nuts on top.
Finish with a drizzle of olive oil over the whole of the fish and a little extra seasoning.
Put the fish, uncovered, into the oven at 190ºc/375ºf for 45 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the fish in for a further 15 minutes.
To serve, remove the fish from the tray on the foil, sliding it off the foil on to a serving platter pouring over the cooking juices. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh coriander leaves and serve immediately.

Our roasted vegetable recipe goes really well with this and can be cooked ahead of time and just reheated when necessary.
