2 bream medium-sized, or snapper, cleaned and trimmed
1 bunch cilantro leaves only + extra leaves, to serve
2 green onions sliced + extra, to serve
1 lemongrass stem, bruised and sliced
2 slices fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic peeled and sliced
2 kaffir lime leaves
1 chili deseeded and sliced
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
lime wedges and halves, to serve

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F.
2
Wash the fish and pat dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, score the skin at 1/2 inch intervals, to allow for even cooking. Place in a foil-lined baking tray.
3
Fill the fish cavities with half each of the cilantro, onion, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, kaffir lime leaves and chili.
4
Finely chop the remaining cilantro, onion, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, lime leaves and chili. Transfer to a bowl with the lime juice, brown sugar and fish sauce. Mix well and spoon over the fish.
5
Bake for 15-20 mins, until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Drizzle with the pan juices and top with extra cilantro and green onions to serve. Accompany with lime wedges and halves.
