Ingredients
- 4 fresh pompano or red snapper
- 3 tablespoons peeled and finely grated fresh ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 fresh red chiles, mashed into a pulp
- salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 3/4 cup fresh or canned crabmeat
- 4 crayfish tails, cooked (optional)
- Chile Sambal
- Semolina Dumplings or Cornmeal Dumplings
Directions
1 Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C. Scale and clean the fish, remove the gills, and cut off the fins and the tails. Lay the fish falt on a chopped board, and make 2 deep but short diagonal cuts in each side, leaving 1/2 inch between the 2 cuts.
2 Prepare the seasoning by mixing the ginger, garlic, chiles, and salt into a paste, and stuff some in the cuts on both sides of each fish. Rub the rest of the seasoning paste all over the fish.
3 Rub the butter over 4 pieces of aluminum foil. Place each piece of fish on a piece of foil, and sprinkle a bit of the garlic salt all over each piece. Loosely wrap up the foil to form parcels, and bake for 30 minutes.
4 Wrap the crabmeat in foil, and warm in the oven for 10 minutes. Unwrap the baked fish and sprinkle the warm crabmeat over each piece.
5 Serve each person a piece of fish and a crayfish tail, accompanied by Chile Sambal and dumplings.
