Ingredients

• Carp fish - 400 grams, cleaned and scaled
• Lemongrass - 2 stalks, minced
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Shallots - 2, finely chopped
• Fish sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh coriander - 20 grams, chopped
• Mint leaves - 20 grams, chopped
• Lettuce leaves - 4, for serving
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, combine minced lemongrass, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, turmeric powder, black pepper, brown sugar, and vegetable oil to create a marinade.
3. Rub the marinade all over the cleaned carp, making sure to get it inside the cavity as well. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
4. While the fish is marinating, prepare your grilling area by oiling the grill grates to prevent sticking.
5. Once marinated, place the carp on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
6. Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
7. Serve the grilled carp on a platter, garnished with fresh coriander and mint leaves, alongside lettuce leaves and lime wedges for a refreshing accompaniment.
