Grilled Fish with Dill

Method

Clean and scale the fish, removing the guts and leaving the head intact, then slash the flesh diagonally on both sides. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, half the fresh dill (chopped), fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar and salt to create a marinade. Rub this mixture thoroughly inside and outside the fish, reserving some dill and shallots to stuff inside the cavity. Heat an oiled grill to medium-high heat and cook the fish for 8-10 minutes per side until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily, basting occasionally with any remaining marinade. Transfer to a serving plate and top with the remaining fresh dill, fried shallots and fresh chillies. Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice and a simple fish sauce dipping sauce on the side.
