Recipe: Thai Baked Fish, by Ricardo Baeza Errazuriz

Fish is not something you can easily prepare. But this recipe is going to make your life much easier!

While fresh whole fish is usually grilled outdoors in Thailand, in certain parts of North America we often have to come up with alternate cooking methods due to weather conditions. Here's a fish recipe that can either be baked indoors or on an outdoor grill. A variety of white-fleshed fish can be used, including red snapper, gray mullet, rainbow trout, tilapia, or whatever you have that's fresh and good. If you prefer a more authentic approach, bake your fish in banana leaves instead of aluminum foil.
