Choose fish

To choose fresh and delicious snapper, select those with shiny scales and slightly pinkish gills. Look for fish with clear, bright, slightly protruding eyes that are not cloudy or slimy.

You should buy fish that still feel firm and elastic to the touch, are solid to the touch, and have their mouths tightly closed.

Prepare the ingredients.

4 snapper fish; 4 stalks of lemongrass; 3 chili peppers; 2 tablespoons minced garlic; 2 tablespoons lemon juice; 2 tablespoons mayonnaise; 1 teaspoon turmeric powder; 1/2 teaspoon seasoning powder; 2 tablespoons cooking oil.

How to do it

Remove the old leaves and roots from the lemongrass, wash it thoroughly, cut it into sections, and then crush it with a knife. Set aside 4 sections of lemongrass, and finely chop the rest. Wash the chili peppers, remove the stems, and finely chop them.

Marinate the fish

Wash the fish thoroughly, gut it, drain, and arrange it on a plate. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the surface. Gently place the crushed lemongrass stalks inside the fish's belly. Then, lightly score both sides of the fish with a knife to allow the seasoning to penetrate.

In a cup, combine 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, all the chopped lemongrass, 1/2 of the chopped chili, and 1 teaspoon of chopped garlic. Mix this spice mixture evenly on both sides of the fish and marinate for 10 minutes.
