Steam Fish

Posted by Kshitij on March 20, 2010

Serves: 2 Time: 30mins approx.
Ingredient

  • 1. Full Pomfret (Medium Size)
  • 5 tbsp extra virgin Olive oil
  • 4 tsp Chili flakes
  • 3 Garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1tsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup finely chopped Coriander
  • 4 tbsp Lemon juice
  • Salt & Black pepper as per taste

Procedure
1. Remove the head & fins of the fish
2. De-bone the fish completely & chop it in semi large pieces.
3. Take a mixing bowl and add olive oil, chili flakes, garlic, oregano, coriander & Lemon juice. Mix it well.
4. Pour all the dressing generously over the fish. Using the fingers, roll the pieces properly to completely cover them in the dressing. This will ensure that the fish will hold that flavor from within.
5. Keep it to marinate for 10 mins.
6. Take a baking tray & place the aluminum foil over it. Rub it completely with oil. Place the fish over it.
7. Place the fish in the center of the foil & fold the foil to make those adjacent edges meet. Then roll & press some foil along the sides to make a seal. Do it on all 3 sides to form a pouch.
8. Preheat the oven to 180deg Celsius.
9. Place the tray in it & grill for 15 to 20 mins.
10. Once done, the pouch will puff up. Remove it from the oven.
11. Make a small hole in the center of the pouch to let the steam escape. Then open it completely & place the pieces in the serving plate.
12. Then pour some sauce from the foil on to fish & sprinkle it with coriander & some drops of lemon. Serve with some hot bread (naan or roti) to go along with it.
