Thai style Fried Fish with Cucumber and Coriander Salad (Barramundi and Red Snapper)

Fish:

1. Score each side of the fish 3 times to enable hot oil to penetrate the flesh more easily in the frying process.

2. Sprinkle some salt on each side of the fish.

3. Fry the fish in a wok containing at least 2-3cm of oil, depending on the size of the fish, for about 3-5 minutes at least on each side.

Dressing:

1. Mix fish sauce, brown sugar, lime zest, and lime juice together. Can mix in other Thai seasoning or herbs too according to taste, e.g. chilli, lemon grass, etc.
