Best 5 Indian Spiced Baked Fish Recipes

INDIAN-SPICED BAKED FISH

Steps:

• Place tuna steaks in a bowl. Add olive oil, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, cumin, and tarragon and mix well. Cover with aluminum foil and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Transfer tuna steaks to a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tuna is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

INDIAN SPICED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the tamarind paste with the lime, sugar, salt, chilli powder, turmeric, garlic and ginger. Add enough water - you won't need much - to make sufficient marinade to coat the four pieces of fish. Turn the salmon over in the marinade, making sure it gets well coated, cover and put in the fridge for 1 hr (or 30 mins is fine if you're in a rush).
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the chillies. Fry over a medium heat for 30-40 secs, then add the salmon fillets. Brown the fillets on each side (including the skin), then transfer them to a roasting tin. Spoon some of the chilli oil from the pan over them. Bake in the oven for 12 mins, or until the fish is cooked right through to the centre (check with the tip of a knife). Serve with rice, lime wedges and an Indian chutney.

BROILED INDIAN SPICED FISH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine ginger, garlic, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir in about 1 tablespoon warm water to form a very thick paste.
• Brush a baking sheet or broiler pan with 1 tablespoon butter; place fish on top.
• Cover fish on both sides with marinade; set aside for at least 15 minutes but no more than 30 minutes.
• Preheat broiler.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons butter over fish; broil until nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn over steaks, and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons butter; broil until browned and cooked through.
• Serve immediately.

INDIAN FISH CURRY

Steps:

• Mix the mustard, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a shallow bowl. Add the fish fillets, turning to coat. Marinate the fish in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Combine the onion, garlic, ginger, and cashews in a blender or food processor and pulse until the mixture forms a paste.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the prepared paste; cook and stir for a minute or two. Add the cayenne pepper, turmeric, cumin, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Cook and stir for an additional five minutes. Stir in the chopped tomato and vegetable broth.
• Arrange the fish fillets in a baking dish, discarding any extra marinade. Top the fish with the sauce, cover the baking dish, and bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

INDIAN SPICED FISH

Steps:

• Mix the dry spices, salt and pepper on a plate. Lightly coat the fish fillets in the dry spice mixture.
• Leave to sit for 5-10 minutes so the spices sink inches.
• Heat a frying pan with oil and fry the fish for 1-1/2 minutes on each side.
