You can use any fish of your choice with this Thai-style fish with melon sauce. We love kingklip and dorado as sustainable, green options!

SERVES 4–6 // COOKING TIME 30 min

INGREDIENTS
1.5 kg whole fish
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper
1 large lemon, sliced

METHOD
1. Wash and clean the fish. Drizzle it with olive oil and season. Stuff with lemon slices.
