You can use whole fish in this recipe too. I serve this with jeera (cumin seeds) rice; simply add 1 tsp of oil to a pan, add 1 T. Jeera seeds, let roast for 1 minute. Add 1 cup of white rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to boil, then simmer 10 minutes. Turn off heat. Fluff rice and serve.

Ingredients
-
4 serving size portions of any white fish (talapia, flounder, sole, cod, karimeen)
-
1 T. Ginger paste
-
1 T. Garlic paste or minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
-
1 T. Lemon juice, fresh squeezed
-
1 T. Red chili powder (Kashmiri)
-
½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
-
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
-
1 T. Water
-
Coconut oil for sautéing
-
Salt to taste
Directions
Make 3-4 slits in the fish on both sides.
In a small bowl, add ginger/garlic paste, lemon juice, chili powder, black pepper, turmeric and water and stir to combine. You want to have a thick paste.
Apply the paste over the fish, making sure to apply the paste into the slits. Refrigerate the fish for at least one hour.
Heat a spoonful of coconut oil into a non-stick skillet. Add fish to hot oil and cook for approximately 6 minutes, flip fish and cook an additional 6 minutes or until rice is cooked through.
Serve with hot rice and some thinly sliced red onion and slices of lemon or lime on the side.
