Instructions
Prepare chutney, and let cool slightly.
While chutney cools, cut 3 crosswise slits through skin and partially into flesh on one side of each fish. Pat fish dry, and place in a shallow baking pan coated with cooking spray.
Stir together oil, garlic salt, and ginger.
Brush fish with spiced oil inside and out.
Bake, uncovered, at 450 for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer fish to individual serving plates, using a wide spatula. Spoon 1/3 cup chutney over each fish.
Serve with additional chutney, if desired.
Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling
Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are my top picks for Asian. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. The Lubanzi Chenin Blanc with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
Lubanzi Chenin Blanc
The 2018 Lubanzi Chenin Blanc is drawn from a blend of older, dry farmed bush vines & younger, drip irrigated vines. Its deep straw color points towards both ripe freshness & complexity. The nose brings tropical & stone fruits first, eliciting thoughts of tangerine & lychee. The palate is round and fleshy, pushing forward lychee again, along with white peach, apricot & green apple, all carried by a touch of elevated acidity. There is brightness & a slight hint of freshly baked bread throughout. The finish is long, soft & affectionate.
