Recipe

  • 4 (8-oz. each) whole fish, such as mackerel or trout, cleaned
  • 4 lime slices
  • 4 tablespoon(s) vegetable oil
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 1 1/2

Fish in Hot Sauce Directions

  1. Rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels.

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small saucepan.
  4. Add onions and cook stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, until softened.

  7. Garnish with lime slices.
