Broiled Indian Spiced Fish Recipes

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.

MADHUR'S BROILED 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.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH INDIAN SPICES AND CORN RELISH

Steps:

• Combine cumin, turmeric, coriander, fennel, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste. Rub fish steaks on both sides with juice of 1/2 lemon, then rub with all but 2 teaspoons of spice mixture. Refrigerate 3 hours.
• While fish marinates, heat 2 tablespoons ghee in a skillet, add ginger and onion and sauté until onion just starts to brown. Stir in remaining spices and sauté, stirring, until spices smell toasty, then add corn and juice of 1/2 lemon. Cook briefly and set aside.
• Remove fish from refrigerator and brush on both sides with remaining ghee or butter. Heat grill and oil grates. When hot, place fish on grill over medium-hot coals or gas fire and cook about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to turn fish and grill 3 to 4 minutes, until a little liquid just begins to pool on surface of fish and a paring knife inserted just at the bone can move flesh away from it easily. Salmon should be cooked about 3 minutes on each side. Remove fish to a warm platter or individual plates.
• Reheat corn mixture, adding cilantro and a couple tablespoons water to moisten it. Spoon corn on fish, garnish with wedges cut from remaining lemon and serve.
