OVEN BAKED THAI STYLE FISH CAKES
I found this while looking for recipes to use all the fish we've been catching. It's similar to Russ's Crab Cakes he makes and just as good. We cooked ours in a little oil in a pan 9no oven) but have submitted the original recipe.

BAKED THAI STYLE FISH
This is one of the recipes I use very often, because I live on the sea and fresh fish is available. Normally I'd use a whole fish, of about 1 kg (2.2 lbs). But it is just as easy to disregard that, and simply fry fish fillets, and use the lovely Thai style sauce with it. I've just tested and photographed this dish again (30.1.09), to make sure of taste and timing. It's spot on as it stands now -- at least for us! :wink: Taste the sauce mixture when everything has been added and stirred, and then. if you want, add a little more oyster and fish sauce. I love this recipe because it is so easy, delicious and extremely low-fat, yet doesn't make you feel as if you're eating diet food. It's not diet food. It is the tastes you find in places like Thailand and Indonesia (maybe simplified here!) Tip: make the quick and easy sauce earlier in the day and simply pop into a warming oven to heat up, for serving with the fish. It doesn't get much simpler than this.

Steps:
- I give directions for oven-baking a whole fish, but you can just as well fry fish fillets in a skillet. Never overcook! Then serve with this sauce.
- If possible, make the sauce the day before or earlier in the day, so the flavours develop, but I confess I always make it at the last minute.
- DO NOT BOIL the sauce -- heat gently.
- Make the sauce: Coarsely grate the cucumber into a small pot, liquid and all, then stir in the rest of the ingredients given above.
- Use enough cucumber! The sauce is not really strong, just flavourful -- don't overdo the hot pepper! If in doubt, add a few drops of Tabasco.
- Taste for seasoning, keeping in mind that fish and oyster sauces are salty, and their flavours become more pronounced on standing. Cover and keep cool.
- To prepare the dish, for a using a whole fish:.
- Heat oven to 425 deg F (210 deg C).
- Score fish on both sides by making 2 or 3 shallow cuts through the skin.
- Tear off a large piece of foil, large enough to enclose the fish completely and still leave space for steam.
- Spray the foil with a non-stick spray to prevent the fish sticking.
- Carefully put the fish on the foil (no salt) and close foil tightly, tent-like, so there is extra room for air to circulate.
- When oven reaches the correct temperature, bake the fish for 30 minutes exactly. It will be done just right (really!) after 30 minutes.
- Keep the fish warm, and heat the sauce gently but do not cook. (Or simply put the sauce in a dish, cover with foil, and put in a warming oven to heat up).
- Roll the baked whole fish carefully on to a warmed platter with the liquid that will have formed, and spoon over the sauce while hot.
- (Or use the sauce with fried fish fillets).
- If there is too much sauce for the platter, serve the rest extra, in a small jug.
- Serve with jasmine or sticky rice, coconut-coated fried bananas, one sweetish veggie (pumpkin, butternut or sweet potatoes sprinkled with cinnamon) and a large salad of mixed greens.
- Don't forget the chilled white wine!
Tips:
- Choose the Right Fish: For this recipe, a firm-fleshed fish like sea bass, tilapia, or cod is recommended. The fish should be boneless and skinless to ensure even cooking.
- Make Sure Fish is Properly Cleaned: Rinse the fish thoroughly under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help remove any impurities and ensure the fish is cooked evenly.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When pan-frying the fish, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly and steaming instead of frying.
- Use Parchment Paper: To prevent the fish from sticking to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper before placing the fish fillets on it.
- Flip the Fish Only Once: When pan-frying the fish, only flip it once. This will help prevent the fish from breaking and ensure it cooks evenly.
- Don't Overcook: Overcooked fish can be dry and tough. To ensure the fish is cooked properly, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If it flakes easily, it's done.
- Use Fresh Herbs and Aromatics: Fresh herbs like cilantro and basil, and aromatics like lemongrass and ginger, add a burst of flavor to this dish. Make sure to use fresh ingredients for the best results.
Conclusion:
This baked Thai-style fish recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy fish. The combination of Thai flavors, such as lemongrass, ginger, and chili, creates a flavorful and aromatic dish that is sure to impress. The fish is cooked until flaky and tender, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve this dish with jasmine rice or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
