Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons plain non-fat yogurt
1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
2 tablespoons tandoori masala paste
2 teaspoons canned pureed tomatoes
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon white vinegar
5 tablespoons lemon juice
1 egg, beaten
2 ½ tablespoons cayenne pepper, or amount to taste
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
5 (6 ounce) cod fillets, rinsed and dried with paper towels
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Mix together in a large bowl the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, tandoori paste, tomato puree, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, egg, cayenne pepper (adjust amount to suit your taste), coriander, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper. Place the fish fillets into the marinade and turn to coat each side. Cover bowl with plastic film and refrigerate for an hour.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat fish. My kids loved the crispy breadcrumb topping and the flaky fish.

Easy and tasty. I used tilapia instead of cod and it turned out great.

This baked cod recipe is a keeper! The fish was flaky and moist, and the spicy breadcrumb crust was crispy and flavorful. I served it with roasted vegetables and a side of lemon wedges, and it was a hit with my family.
