- 4
cm (1½in) piece root ginger, sliced

lemongrass stalk, outer leaves removed and roughly chopped

lime, sliced
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Put the ginger, lemongrass and lime leaves into a food processor. Whiz until the mixture forms a paste. Slash each fish fillet three times on the skin side, taking care not to cut through to the flesh.
- Step 2
Lay six of the fillets skin-side down in a roasting tin and divide the ginger and lemongrass paste among them. Top with spring onion, coriander and lime slices. Lay the remaining six fish fillets on top, skin side up.
- Step 3
Bake for 15-20min until cooked through. Serve with the sesame rice and stir-fried vegetables.
