I am always on the lookout for delicious low carb meal options that are a little outside the box.
Asian ingredients pack such a punch and can be used to speedily infuse flavours into simple dishes that end up tasting like they have marinating for days.
One of my favourite proteins to keep on hand is fish, roasting an entire fish is a surefire way to impress when you have guests and is most definitely one of the quickest meals to put together. Pack in the veg alongside your fish and it’s becomes a one pan meal to boot.
Let’s get cooking…
Mix the first 5 ingredients together and set aside. Rinse the fish and pat dry, then season generously with salt and pepper. Rub the marinade onto the flesh only and allow to sit for up to 30 minutes.
When you’re ready to pop the fish into the oven, fill the cavity with half of the sliced vegetables and place a quarter of it under the fish and over the fish. Roast the fish at 180C for 25-30 minutes until the flesh easily flakes. The cooking time of the fish will vary depending on how big your fish is.
Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes after cooking then serve family style!
