Cá Nướng Mỡ Hành

Cá Nướng Mỡ Hành is a delightful Vietnamese BBQ dish featuring grilled fish topped with fragrant scallion oil. This dish is not only flavorful but also a healthy option packed with nutrients.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (tilapia or catfish) - 300 grams
• Scallions - 4 stalks
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fish sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Lime - 1, juiced
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Chili flakes (optional) - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Fresh herbs (mint, cilantro) - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix the vegetable oil, minced garlic, fish sauce, lime juice, black pepper, and chili flakes to create a marinade.
3. Rub the marinade over the fish fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
4. While the fish is marinating, finely chop the scallions and set aside.
5. After marinating, place the fish fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
6. In a small saucepan, heat a little oil over low heat and add the chopped scallions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
7. Once the fish is done, remove it from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
8. Top the grilled fish with the sautéed scallions and garnish with fresh herbs.
9. Serve hot with steamed rice or fresh vegetables.
