Clean the tilapia fish by removing the scales and draining it dry.

Use a kitchen tissue to wipe off any excess moisture from the fish.

Make horizontal cuts across both sides of the fish with a sharp knife to allow seasoning to penetrate.

Mix salt and crayfish stock powder together and rub it all over the fish, ensuring to get it inside the cuts and around the head.

Set the seasoned fish aside to marinate while preparing the sauce.

Blend spring onion, red chili, green chili, ginger, garlic, onions, and scotch bonnet together, adding some water to make it easy to blend until smooth.

Heat a pan with a bit of vegetable oil and pour in the blended sauce, cooking it for about 10 minutes.

Season the sauce with curry powder, dried thyme, and salt, mixing everything together.

Once the sauce is cooked (indicated by oil floating to the top), let it cool down before marinating the fish with it using a brush or your hands.

Stuff the cavity of the fish with leftover spring onions and fresh thyme for added flavor.

Transfer the fish to a baking tray and place it in a preheated oven for about 12 minutes.

Serve the fish immediately after baking for the best taste.
