Indian Style Baked Fish Recipe

This is a light way of cooking Fish Fillets and healthier too.The main object is to marinate the Fish and then bake or grill it so as to keep the use of Oil to a minimum.Any fish can be used but we use Pomfret or Tilapia as these are easier to cook.The baking time can be altered for thicker Fillets or Fish Steaks.A whole large Fish can also be used if so desired only the marinating and cooking times will then vary.

1 tsp Olive Oi1
1 tsp Curry Leaves (crushed)

Instructions

Clean and pat dry the cleaned fish using a kitchen tissue.
Make a paste with all the ingredients listed above "To Make Paste" by adding a little oil or water.
Apply the masala paste on the fish fillets one by one and keep the marinated fish pieces for ½ hour to 1 hour in refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 400 degree F /200 degree Celsius.
Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and spray or brush lightly with some olive oil.
Place the fish fillets in a single layer an inch apart on the baking tray and bake uncovered for around 15 minutes.
Turn the fillets carefully and bake for another 15 minutes depending on how crisp you want your fish to be. If you want a nice crispy crust, broil it during the last 2 mins.
Serve with lime, onion wedges and hot steamed rice or on its own and Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Temperature setting and cooking time may vary depending on oven, so adjust the timing accordingly.
Make sure the fish fillets are not thin or else it starts falling apart and also be careful not to bake it for too long or else it will become dry
If you prefer broil then make sure you keep an eye on the fish, because it can easily burn the fish.
