Method
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.
In a bowl, mix together the sambal oelek, tomato purée, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce.
Lay out two large sheets of foil.
Divide the sliced onion and chilli between the parcels.
Place a sea bass fillet onto each foil sheet.
Spoon the sambal mixture generously over the fish.
Drizzle with lime juice and a little vegetable oil.
Fold the foil loosely into sealed parcels, leaving room for steam to circulate.
Place the parcels into the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 180°C for 10–12 minutes until the fish flakes easily and the sambal sauce becomes rich and fragrant.
Carefully open the parcels and finish with coriander, spring onions, and lime wedges. Serve immediately with steamed rice if using.
