1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
1 1/2 pound cleaned and scaled whole fish, such as sea bass or sole

Mix all ingredients together except the fish. Cut 4 deep slices diagonally across each side of the fish, then pour the marinade over,working it into the slashes and coating all sides of the fish. Marinate 30 to 40 minutes.
