    A tandoor oven is the only thing missing in my kitchen to make this marinated tandoori fish fillets recipe even better. A quick and easy marinade with spices like chaat masala, red chili powder, garlic paste, and lemon juice makes a tandoori marinade that pairs well with white marinated fish recipes.

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb white fish (catfish, tilapia, cod, halibut, etc)
    • 1 tbsp fresh grated garlic
    • 1/2 tsp ginger
    • 1/2 tsp turmeric (fresh preferred)
    • 2 tbsp dry coriander powder
    • 1 tbsp tandoori masala (I like Raja Brand)
    • 1 tsp black pepper
    • red chili powder
    • oil
    • salt
    • cilantro for garnishment

    Directions

    1. Wash and pat dry the fish with a paper towel.
    2. Combine all of the ingredients except fish and turn it into a paste using everyday oil. You can also add cilantro stems to the paste if you prefer (tastes great!)
    3. Add the fish to the mixture and coat each piece evenly. Marinating is optional.
    4. Before cooking, keep the fish at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
    5. Heat a pan on high heat. After it is heated through, add oil to the pan, and then lay the fillets to cook.
    6. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes on medium-high heat (depending on thickness). If you are unsure when to flip: My tip here is to wait until the fish begins to change to a slight white color on the sides and towards the top edges. I only flip the fish one time.
    7. Flip each filet over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. SIDE NOTE: Cook the second side of the fish only half the time you cooked the first side.
    8. Remove filets from the pan, garnish with cilantro, and serve with a fresh lemon wedge.
