Coriander-Mint Whole Fish

This delicious green fish preparation takes no time to put together.I usually marinate the fish in a Ziploc bag and let it sit in the freezer.Comes in handy that week for a fishy meal! Bake or Grill the fish.



Ingredients:

1 whole fish(about 1 lb)-gutted and cleaned-snapper,pomfret,Tilapia etc.

1 small bunch coriander

1 small bunch mint

5 tbsps lemon juice

4-6 green chilies

1/2 tsp garam masala

1/4 tsp jeera powder

1/4 inch piece ginger

2 tbsp oil

Salt to taste

Preparation:

• Wash the fish, pat dry ,make small slits on the sides,sprinkle some salt and set it aside in an oven proof dish.
• Grind the coriander,mint,chilies,lemon juice,cumin powder,garam masala,ginger,oil & salt.
• Rub the marinade all over the fish,inside slits & the inside cavity.
• Let it marinate for an hr atleast.Over night marination is perfect.
• Preheat oven to 400 deg F.
• Baste the fish with oil and put the fish in the preheated oven.
• Baste with the marinade a few times during baking.
• Bake for 30 mins,turning once halfway through the baking.
• At the end broil the fish for 1-2 mins, until slightly browned & crispy on the outside.
• Transfer carefully to serving plate.Serve garnished with chopped coriander & lemon wedges.

Tips:

1. You can also use medium pieces of fish for this recipe.Note that the baking time will be much lesser.
2. Use a grilling basket for grilling fish.It is much easier to turn without breaking the fish.
