A simple, healthy baked fish recipe made with Kashmiri chilli, turmeric, and ginger garlic paste. Oven baked at a low temperature for tender, flavorful fish, finished with fresh coriander and lemon.
Ingredients
- 1 kg white salmon fish, cut into large slices
- 1 tbsp mixed Kashmiri chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1 tbsp ginger and garlic paste
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- Fine salt, to taste
- Fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)
- Fresh lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150°C.
- Arrange the fish slices in a single layer in a lightly oiled oven-safe platter.
- In a small bowl, mix the Kashmiri chilli powder, turmeric, ginger and garlic paste, salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil until a loose paste forms.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish. Drizzle over the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to coat evenly. Cover and marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Place the platter in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Carefully turn the fish pieces and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh coriander, and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
1.Use large fish pieces to prevent drying out during baking.
2.Avoid increasing the oven temperature, as slow baking keeps the fish moist.
3.Add lemon only when serving to keep the flavor fresh and balanced.
