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.
Slice yellow onion thinly. Cut jicama into thin strips. Set aside.
