Let’s dive into the culinary magic and create this masterpiece step by step:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 230°C (446°F) to ensure it’s nice and toasty for our baking adventure.

2. Prepare Leeks:

   • Trim the roots and tough green leaves from the leeks.
   • Cut the leeks into julienne strips, then soak them in cold water for 10 minutes to release any trapped dirt or sand.
   • Drain the leeks well.

3. Caramelize Leeks:

   • Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a saucepan.
   • Add the drained leeks and stir over high heat until they have wilted slightly and are coated in oil.
   • Lower the heat, season to taste, and let them cook slowly for about 30 minutes or until beautifully caramelized.

4. Prepare Fish:

   • Oil a baking dish large enough to hold the fish.
   • Arrange the fish fillets in the dish and season them to your liking.

5. Bake Fish:

   • Pour the coconut milk over the fish and place the dish in the preheated oven.
   • Bake for approximately 10 minutes until the fish is cooked through and tender.

6. Prepare Mango Mixture:

   • Slice the mango finely into strips.
   • Mix the mango with the chopped coriander and basil in a bowl.
   • Add lime juice to the mixture and stir well to combine.

7. Final Touch:

   • Remove the fish from the oven and generously heap the mango mixture on each fillet.
   • Return the dish to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • To serve, create a small mound of caramelized leeks in the center of each plate.
   • Place each fish fillet on top of the leeks, ensuring each fillet is adorned with a generous portion of the delightful mango mixture.
