Baked Masala Fish

A masala is the mix of spices used in an Indian dish. In this fragrant fish marinade you’ll find lots of healthy and delicious spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger and garlic, all bringing a beautiful flavour to this sea bream we got from the excellent Camberly Fish Shop. A must visit if you live near!

Ingredients

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C / 180 Fan / 400°F / gas mark 6.
  2. Make 2-3 diagonal cuts on the flesh of each side of the bream.
  3. Mix Shemin’s Turmeric Powder, lime, lemon or yuzu juice and salt.
  4. Rub the turmeric marinade all over the fish, making sure to get it into the cuts and a little into the cavity of the fish. Cover and chill to marinade for about 20min – 2 hours.
  5. Rub Shemins Seafood Curry Paste over each fish (inside and out) and loosely wrap individually in a double layer of foil. Scrunch together the foil to make a tent, leaving space for the fish to steam.
  6. Put the parcels on a baking tray and roast for 20-30 mins until cooked through and the flesh comes away easily from the bone when teased with a fork.
  7. You can scrunch the foil together and serve as parcels so that the aromas waft out when opened or transfer on to a platter. Serve with lime or lemon wedges, and garnish with coriander and chilli. This recipe is also delicious with basmati rice.
Tip: You can also use any firm white fish with this recipe, like Hake Fillet, Sea Bass or Cod Fillet. If you are using fillets, the baking time will be about 12-15 mins or until flaky and cooked through.
