Ingredients
- 1 - 2 Branzino fish small to medium sized fish
- 2 tsp Coconut oil
- 2 sprigs Curry leaves
- 2 tbsp Vinegar
- 1 tsp Chili powder Paprika powder instead
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- Salt
Marination
- 3-4 Small onion
- 1/2 inch Ginger
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Green chili
- 1 sprig Curry leaves
Instructions
- Clean and wash the fish.Cut into 1-11/2 inch thick round pieces. Rinse finally with 2 tbsp of vinegar and salt if there is a fish smell. Drain all the water completely.
- Make a marinade by coarsely crushing the ingredients given the list. Add red chili powder, Turmeric powder, salt. Mix the fish pieces well and set aside for 20 minutes at least. Refrigerate if living in hot climates.
- Apply coconut oil to grease a lined tray. Keep the marinated pieces leaving enough distance in between. Sprinkle curry leaves too on tray. Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes. The fish pieces should be crisp but not dry.
- Serve immediately with rice and other side dishes.
Notes
- Make sure the fish is removed promptly from the oven so it does not dry out. The paprika will turn dark brown and turn bitter.
- The onion can turn from caramel to burnt flavor quickly.
- Marinating and keeping it for too long will lead to breaking down the proteins in the fish and loss of fresh flavors of fish and spices.
