Cá Nướng Sả Ớt

Name: Cá Nướng Sả Ớt
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 1 whole sea bream or sea bass (1.5 lbs), cleaned and scaled; 4 stalks lemongrass, white part minced; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 3 Thai bird's eye chilies, minced; 2 tablespoons fish sauce; 1 tablespoon lime juice; 1 teaspoon sesame oil; ¼ cup neutral oil; 3 tablespoons dried chili flakes; 1 teaspoon sea salt; 2 limes, halved; 1 cup fresh cilantro; 1 cup fresh Thai basil; ½ cup fresh mint; 2 scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces; Fleur de sel to taste

A whole sea bream is enveloped in a fragrant paste of minced lemongrass, garlic, and Thai chilies, then grilled over charcoal until the skin blisters and blackens while the flesh stays impossibly tender. Served with a spicy chili oil, charred lime, and a cascade of fresh herbs, this is the essence of Vietnamese coastal cooking—theatrical, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.
