Baked Fish with Lemongrass Recipe (Cá Nướng Sả)
Change your daily meal by making the most delicious recipe with fish. Most of the time, we have no idea what to do with fish since they may be dried out or still keep the fish smell after our cooking process. In this recipe, I will show you how to bake the fish with lemongrass in foil. The fish is really moist, juicy, and sweet naturally. Furthermore, lemongrass will eliminate the fish smell and also give it an amazing smell and good flavor as well.
Honestly, this recipe is our whole family’s favorite dish. We often make it on every weekend to change our daily dishes; we sometimes make it to serve our friends as an intimate meal.
