Baked Sambal Fish

Submitted by JoyfulCook

"A great way to serve up fish, its so full of flavour and the Asian marinade is tasty and quite hot and baked in a loose foil package. Serve either with salads or new potatoes, and vegetables of your choice. Totally delicious either way"

This was delicious and soooo easy! I followed the directions as given only adding a little more onion. Definately going to make this again! Thank you for posting. Made for Healthy Choices Tag Game 2012.

This was excellent! We loved every bite of it. I did make a change, though, in that I used harissa paste in place of half of the sambal - I found that there was only one teaspoon sambal left in the jar, so I came up with adding some harissa for the other 3 spoons. I'll definitely make this again using all sambal, but even this way it was fabulous. Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for Make My Recipe Reunion Tag Game for the AUS/NZ Forum.
