Begin by thoroughly cleaning the Gurame fish and making shallow slashes across the surface on both sides. Rub the fish with lime juice and salt, then set it aside for 30 minutes to eliminate any fishy odor and to help tenderize the fish. After 30 minutes, fry the fish until it’s slightly crispy on the outside.
2. Prepare the Spice Paste
Blend the shallots, garlic, black pepper, and coriander seeds into a smooth paste. Heat a little oil in a pan and sauté the paste until it becomes fragrant. Season with salt and sugar to taste, then add the chili sauce and sweet soy sauce. Pour in 75 ml of water, stir well, and adjust the seasoning as needed.
3. Grill the Fish
Generously coat the fried fish with the prepared spice paste. Grill the fish over low heat, turning occasionally, until the flavors seep in and the fish becomes perfectly grilled. Be careful not to burn the sauce.
4. Serve
Once the fish is cooked and the basting sauce has caramelized slightly, remove from the heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Gurame with Sweet Soy Sauce!
