Instructions: Clean and scale the snapper. With a sharp knife make 3 incisions on each side of fish in the thickest part. This aids cooking and helps the marinade flavour the fish.

Combine ingredients for marinade in a large bowl. Add fish to coat in marinade, leave 1/2 hour turning regularly.

Lay out 4 pieces of aluminium foil big enough to enclose fish. Brush with oil, lay fish in center and top with sliced spring onions. Pour over some of the marinade and seal fish loosely in foil, securing at the top. Repeat with remaining fish.

Cook on a tray in a hot oven, or on the BBQ, for about 15 minutes or until fish is just cooked through.

You can use other small whole fish in place of snapper eg. bream.

Serve with stir-fry vegetables.
