作法
- 將紅蔥頭、蒜頭、辣椒、薑、薑黃、石栗與香茅加少許水打成細糊。這是基底bumbu。
- 於小鍋熱油，將香料糊炒5分鐘至顏色變深、油脂浮現。拌入kecap manis、羅望子、棕櫚糖與鹽。再煮2分鐘後放涼。
- 將魚徹底拭乾。將涼透的醃料厚塗於兩面與刀痕中。醃漬至少1小時，理想為4小時。
- 點起炭火——峇里島用椰殼炭，否則用硬木炭。當炭火紅亮且邊緣發白時，將魚架上烤。
- 每面烤8分鐘，途中刷上剩下的醃料。魚皮應局部焦黑、醃料如漆般呈深紅褐色。切勿過早翻動——若翻動時魚皮黏住請再烤1分鐘。
- 將萊姆汁擠在烤好的魚上。整尾置於香蕉葉上，搭配白飯、生參巴醬與一疊生菜葉（可包飯），上桌即食。金巴蘭海灘版本是坐在低矮塑膠桌前、面向印度洋夕陽享用。

文化背景
金巴蘭烤魚指的是峇里島金巴蘭灣海邊群聚的小食店，數十家餐廳於日落時以椰殼烤製當日漁獲。「先醃後烤」的工序在印尼各地通用，但金巴蘭版本最為知名。生參巴醬(sambal matah)是峇里島招牌調味料：生紅蔥頭、香茅、卡菲爾萊姆葉、辣椒與萊姆，無需烹煮，鮮明清爽。在金巴蘭腳踩沙灘、面朝爪哇島夕陽享用烤魚，是峇里島度假的經典畫面。
