2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce

1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste

salt and pepper to taste

oil for frying

1 large carrot, finely grated

Preparation

Marinate the fillets with the soy sauce, chilli sauce, ginger-garlic paste and salt and pepper to taste for at least half an hour.

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Shake off the extra marinade from the fillets and fry on both sides on medium heat until cooked through.

Garnish with the carrot and spring onions and serve with steamed white rice or noodles.

Tilapia or nile perch would also work well for this recipe.
You can flake the fish and use it as a filling for a fish wrap with some lettuce and tomatoes.
