Inihaw na Tilapia (Grilled Stuffed Tilapia)

Method

1. Combine the diced tomato, onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, calamansi or lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl to make the stuffing.
2. Rinse and pat the tilapia dry. Lightly season the fish inside and out with a little extra salt.
3. Stuff the cavities of the fish with the tomato mixture, dividing it evenly.
4. Wrap each fish in banana leaves or foil and brush the outside with a little oil.
5. Grill over medium coals or on a grill pan about 8–10 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and the skin is lightly charred.
6. Serve hot as is or with a soy–calamansi or vinegar dipping sauce.
