Preparation

Heat the oil. When it's hot, add the chillies, ginger, lime leaves and cook a few minutes until crisp. Remove from the heat and place on kitchen roll to absorb the excess oil.

Step 3

Mix all the leaves and other ingredients together, then spread evenly over each fillet. Squeeze a little lime juice on each fillet. Serve with rice or sweet potatoes for a more exotic dish ...
