Slightly spicy and refreshingly tangy from the freshly squeezed lemon, you can see how perfectly the fillet flakes into moist and tender morsels with the gentlest prick of a fork.
4 fillets from any fish that you like, I used kingfish but you can use hammour or tilapia or salmon…any fish fillet that you prefer.
Rinse the fillets in water with some vinegar, then drain and set aside.
Make a paste out of these ingredients:
2-3 tsp. red chili powder
1 tsp. salt
juice of 1 lemon
¼ tsp. garlic paste
pinch of turmeric powder
INSTRUCTIONS
Rub this paste on the fillets, put in a bowl and cover with cling film, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
Remove the fillets and lay them on a lightly greased baking tray. Pre-heat the oven at 200 C. In the meantime, brush about a tsp. of olive oil (or melted butter) on each fillet, then squeeze some drops of lemon on top. Put the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove and serve immediately with accompaniments of your choice!

W/Salaam, thank you! Ginger and garlic pastes are basically grinded ginger or garlic. You can use them freshly peeled and mashed or grinded.

Hello fauzy,pls can i use microwave for the baking of the fillets?salam
Hi, I do not bake/cook in my microwave so cannot be sure on the results if you do.
Hi Salams fouzia...
Congrajulatiöns 4 wining craft 2013.ua doing a great job n keep going on n on..
I want 2 ask a ques can i use coconut oil instead of olive oil
W/Salaam and thank you! Yes you can do that, although I have personally not tried it so not sure on how the flavour would be. If you like the taste of coconut oil then it should be fine.
Aselam Alekum sr.Fauzia. I tried this last week n it was very good MashaAllah!
But mine didn't look as pretty as yours! Yours looked like it was breaded n dry (in a good way). Mine became moist n steamy?
Jazaky Allah kher!
