Best recipe reviewA heavenly match. 5/5 Basa is my white fish of choice and grapefruit is a prefect pairing for any fish. |

- * Fresh coriander to garnish
- For the salsa
- * Salt and freshly ground black pepper

- Peel the grapefruit and cut into segments, removing as much pith as possible, add to the bowl
- Cut the onion into very thin rings, add to the bowl
- Chill for 30 minutes
- Oil 4 sheets of tin foil (so the fish does not stick to it)
- Sprinkle half of the ginger and spring onions on the foil
- Season the bass with salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Lay the fish on the ginger and spring onions, then sprinkle the remaining ginger and spring onions over the top

- Garnish with coriander and serve with the salsa
Serving suggestions
Serve hot with peas and peppers
Peeling ginger
There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
