Recipe of Ikan Bakar

Join me and let's see how to make Ikan Bakar

Instructions:

Step 1
• In a bowl, combine the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, red onion, garlic, turmeric, and galangal to create a spice paste.
Step 2
• Add the tamarind paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and vegetable oil to the spice paste. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
• Score the fish on both sides with shallow cuts to allow the marinade to penetrate.
Step 4

Step 5
• Preheat a grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
Step 6
• Wrap each fish in banana leaves or aluminum foil, securing them well.
Step 7
• Place the wrapped fish on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and has a nice char.
Step 8
• Serve the Ikan Bakar hot with steamed rice and extra lime wedges for a zesty kick.
