Instructions

Clean the fish, gut them and butterfly them without fully separating the two halves.
Crush the garlic, then mix it with the vinegar, fish sauce and pepper.
Brush the inside of the fish with this marinade and let it rest 30 minutes in the fridge.
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.
Grill the fish 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until the flesh comes away easily.
Pour the leftover marinade into the pan and let it reduce for 1 minute, then spoon it over the fish.
Serve with rice and the sauce.
