- 2 whole tilapia or 4 fillets
- 1 piece fresh ginger root
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 bird's eye or Thai chili
- 1 small lemon
- 3 teaspoons fish sauce
- 5 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

- Coat the fish with a little salt and black pepper and let sit about 15 minutes.
- Heat a good amount of cooking oil in a frying pan.
- When hot, place the fish in the pan and fry until golden brown on all sides.

- When both sides of fish are evenly fried, remove and drain the oil.
- Prepare the sauce: Peel off the skin of the ginger and pound.
- De-seed the birds eye chili and slice.
- Add to a bowl and stir well with honey, water, fish sauce, lemon juice, black pepper.
- Pound garlic and stir-fry until aromatic.
- Add the mixed sauce and bring to a boil.
- When the sauce thickens, drop the fried fish and chopped dill in.
- Shake the pan to let the sauce coat the fish or gently use chopsticks to stir thoroughly.
- Be gentle in order not to break apart the fish.
- Use a pair of tongs to pick out the fish and lay on serving platter.
- Sprinkle the remaining ginger and garlic left in the pan onto the fish.
- It's very tasty to serve this dish with rice or use the leftovers to fry with rice ^_^
