Indonesian-style fish
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. If you're heading outdoors or simply grilling lunch, try making fish using my recipe! Of course, this recipe isn't my own invention. Indonesian-style fish is a traditional Indonesian dish. It's been cooked for so long that in Indonesia, it's still prepared on banana leaves rather than foil. I slightly fold the edges of the foil, so the fish cooks in the juice of its marinade. It's very tasty. The finished dish can be served right away.

Step 2
Now mix all the ingredients: chili pepper, onion, ginger, zest, lime juice, tomato paste, salt, turmeric, and pour in water. Heat the skillet, melt the butter, and add the mixture. Simmer for about 6 minutes. As soon as a sharp aroma appears, remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for 20 minutes.

Step 3
Prepare the fish. Since it will be grilled, there's no need to scale it. Make three X-shaped cuts on it. These cuts are necessary for the sauce to penetrate the fish. Then place the fish in a bowl, coat it on both sides with our prepared marinade sauce, and refrigerate to marinate for one to one and a half hours.

Step 4
To prevent the sauce and its juices from escaping, fry the fish on foil, but do not completely cover it. Fry on both sides for 8 minutes each, until fully cooked.
