Instructions
In a bowl, stir the lime juice with the fish sauce, chiles and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
In a mini processor, puree the garlic, scallion whites, lemongrass, cilantro stems, sugar, lime juice, salt and pepper to a paste. Rub the paste all over the pompano.
Put the fish on a plate, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Scrape the marinade from the fish. In a large, nonstick skillet, heat the oil.
Add the fish, skin side down, and cook over moderately high heat until the skin is crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn the fillets, lower the heat to moderate and cook until just opaque throughout, about 2 minutes longer; transfer to plates, skin side up, and garnish with scallion greens and cilantro sprigs.
Serve with lime wedges and the dipping sauce.
