Ingredients

For Marination:

  • 1 fillet (200 grams) basa fish, salmon or any white firm fleshed fish
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

For Moroccan Spiced Sauce:

  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 4 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 bunch Coriander Leaves finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 medium sized onion juliened
  • 1/4 teaspoon Coriander seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 2 teaspoon oil
  • 1/4 cup olives pitted and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

Instructions

  • Wash the fish fillet and marinate by applying salt and black pepper powder and keep aside for 30 Minutes in the fridge.

Let's make the Moroccan sauce:

  • Take a mixing bowl and add the cumin powder, coriander powder and paprika. Mix and keep aside. Take another mixing bowl, add the chopped coriander leaves, 3/4th of the mixed spiced powders from first mixing bowl, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic paste and 1 teaspoon salt and mix well.
  • Pour 3/4th of this sauce over the fish fillet and apply it on both sides of the fish. (Reserve the remaining 1/4 to pour on the fish while serving). Keep it aside for 1 hour in the fridge.

Let's make the roasted onion.

  • Heat a kadai and add butter. After butter melts, add olive oil. Now add onion and saute till onion turns pinkish.
  • Add the remaining spiced powders, turmeric powder and salt to taste and mix well. Now add olives and mix.
  • Let this mixture cool.

Let's bake the fish:

  • Pre-heat the oven at 200C for 5 Minutes.
  • Spread the roasted onions in a baking dish. Arrange the marinated fish fillets over the roasted onions. Bake it for 25 Minutes at 200C.

Notes

While serving, take a plate and place a piece of baked fish. Garnish it with reserved coriander/cilantro sauce.
