INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Rinse fish, inside & out, & pat dry with paper towels. Make 4 slits
about 1/2 inch deep & 2 inches long on each side of fish. Rub slits with
salt & pepper & stuff with mint. Season cavity with salt & pepper.
3. Place fish in roasting pan & brush all over with Tamarind glaze. Bake
until thickest part of fish flakes easily when tested with fork & the skin
is crisp. This should take 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on size of fish.
Brush several times with remaining glaze while baking

Serving Ideas : Substituting fresh basil for mint also good.
NOTES : Fish, deep fried or baked & served with some manner of sweet & sour
sauce, is one of the most ordered dishes in Thai resaurants in the US.
While
at many restaurants the sauce is purveyed from bottles, here the authentic
glaze for the crispy fish is a delicate combination of honey & fruity-tart
tamarind. The versatile glaze is delicious with grilled or baked poulty,
fish
or meat. Give it a try next time you're roasting a duck!
