While fresh whole fish is usually grilled outdoors in Thailand, here in North America we often have to come up with alternate cooking methods owing to weather conditions. To accommodate both indoor and outdoor methods, here's a fish recipe that can either be baked indoors, OR grilled on your BBQ. A variety of white-fleshed fish can be used in this recipe, including red snapper, gray mullet, rainbow trout, tilapia, or whatever you have that's fresh and good. If you prefer a more authentic approach, bake your fish in banana leaves instead of foil. ENJOY!
