- In a small bowl, combine the oil, fresh ginger slices, finely chopped spring onions, minced garlic cloves, caster sugar, rice vinegar, fish sauce, grated lime rind, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Marinate the Fish:
- Place the fish fillets in a large shallow dish, arranging them in a single layer.
- Pour the prepared ginger-lime marinade over the fish, ensuring that each fillet is evenly coated.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Assemble the Packets:
- Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium-high heat.
- Take each fish fillet and place it onto a piece of lightly oiled foil, ensuring there’s enough foil to wrap and enclose the fish completely.
- Top each fillet with a generous portion of the ginger-lime mixture from the marinade, and place a kaffir lime leaf on top for added aroma.
Cook the Fish:
- Fold in the edges of the foil to create sealed packets, ensuring the fish is enclosed securely.
- Carefully place the foil packets onto the preheated grill or BBQ, and cook for approximately 15 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the heat of your grill and the thickness of the fish fillets. Ensure the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish and Serve:
- Once the fish is cooked, carefully open the top of each foil packet.
- Sprinkle the fish with freshly chopped herbs of your choice for a burst of freshness.
- Garnish each serving with a lime wedge for an extra zing of citrusy flavor.

Serving Suggestions:

These Lime and Ginger Fish Fillets are best served hot off the grill, accompanied by stir-fried Asian vegetables and fluffy white rice. The vibrant flavors of the fish pair perfectly with the crispiness of the vegetables and the softness of the rice, creating a balanced and satisfying meal that’s sure to impress your family and friends.

Recipe Notes:

For a Thai-inspired twist, you can add a dash of chili flakes or finely chopped chili peppers to the marinade for an extra kick of heat.
If you’re unable to find kaffir lime leaves, you can substitute with thinly sliced lime zest for a similar citrusy aroma.
Ensure the foil packets are sealed tightly to trap the steam and juices, resulting in moist and flavorful fish.
