Method
Slice the shallots thinly, mince the garlic, finely chop the chillies, and pick the mint and coriander leaves.
Whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, palm sugar, garlic and chillies in a large bowl until the sugar has dissolved.
Pat the fish fillets dry with kitchen paper and season with a little salt.
Heat a griddle pan until very hot and grill the fish for 3 minutes per side, until the flesh flakes easily and a meat thermometer reads at least 63°C.
Transfer the fish to a board and flake into large pieces.
Add the flaked fish, shallots and spring onions to the dressing and toss gently to combine.
Scatter over the mint and coriander and serve immediately.
