Indian Style Baked Fish Recipe
This is a light way of cooking Fish Fillets and healthier too.The main object is to marinate the Fish and then bake or grill it so as to keep the use of Oil to a minimum.Any fish can be used but we use Pomfret or Tilapia as these are easier to cook.The baking time can be altered for thicker Fillets or Fish Steaks.A whole large Fish can also be used if so desired only the marinating and cooking times will then vary.

Recipe Notes
  • Temperature setting and cooking time may vary depending on oven, so adjust the timing accordingly.
  • Make sure the fish fillets are not thin or else it starts falling apart and also be careful not to bake it for too long or else it will become dry
  • If you prefer broil then make sure you keep an eye on the fish, because it can easily burn the fish.
