From Madhur Jaffrey’s Simple Indian Cookery, a delicious and truly simple dish. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons ginger, finely grated |
3 garlic cloves, crushed |
1 teaspoon garam masala |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric |
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
coarse salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
4 (6 ounce) fish fillets (or steaks, swordfish, halibut, haddock, tuna, or salmon) |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine ginger, garlic, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir in about 1 tablespoon warm water to form a very thick paste.
2. Brush a baking sheet or broiler pan with 1 tablespoon butter; place fish on top.
3. Cover fish on both sides with marinade; set aside for at least 15 minutes but no more than 30 minutes.
4. Preheat broiler.
5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons butter over fish; broil until nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn over steaks, and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons butter; broil until browned and cooked through.
6. Serve immediately.
