Grilled or Broiled Fish with Lime

1. 1

   Make 3 or 4 parallel diagonal slashes on each side of the fish, just about down to the bone.

2. 2

   Mix together the lime juice, nam pla, oil, salt, and pepper and marinate the fish in this while you start a charcoal or gas grill or broiler; the fire should be medium-hot, and the grill rack should be about 4 inches from the heat source.

3. 3

   Remove the fish from the marinade and stuff the cavity with the lime leaves and garlic.

4. 4

   Lay the lemongrass stalks directly on the grill or broiler pan and place the fish on top.

5. 5

   Grill the fish or broil for at least 5 minutes per side, basting three or four times with the marinade, then check for doneness (peek down to the bottom of the gashes, where the meat should be white).

6. 6

   Serve hot.
