A one-tray Top End classic — crackling skin, tender flesh, and aromatic Asian flavours in under 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a large tray with baking paper.
Pat the fish dry inside and out. Score the skin 3 times on each side.
Stuff the cavity with lime slices and half the ginger.
Lay fish on the tray. Scatter with remaining ginger, spring onion, chilli. Drizzle with soy, fish sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice.
Roast for 18–20 minutes until the thickest part flakes easily with a fork.
Rest 3 minutes. Shower with coriander and bring the whole tray to the table.
