Easy

This spicy Indian-inspired dish is super easy, but you do need to plan ahead as it needs to marinate in the spiced yogurt mixture for two hours. The yogurt marinade gives the fish a little tang and also helps prevent it from drying out under the high heat of the broiler. Cover the broiler pan with aluminum foil for an easy cleanup. It’s also a very good idea to combine the relish ingredients in a non-reactive bowl, like glass, ceramic, or even plastic, to prevent the acidic ingredients from taking on a metallic taste. Serve the fish and relish over basmati rice tossed with fresh chopped cilantro or with warm naan for a complete, well-spiced meal.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
  • ½ tbsp garam masala
  • ½ tbsp paprika
  • ½ tbsp fresh ginger, finely minced
  • 3 medium garlic cloves, finely minced
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, or less to taste
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • ¾ tsp table salt
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, fresh, minced
  • 1 pound uncooked snapper fillets, red-variety (one 1 lb piece)

Relish:

  • ½ medium English cucumber
  • 2 medium fresh tomatoes, chopped
  • ½ small uncooked red onion, minced
  • ½ tsp table salt
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper, or less to taste (1/8 tsp will be quite spicy)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, or mint, fresh, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients; mix well. Place fish in yogurt mixture and turn to coat both sides; cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  2. Meanwhile, combine relish ingredients in a non-reactive bowl; refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Place broiler pan in oven; preheat broiler to high.
  4. Remove fish from marinade; discard marinade. Place fish on broiler pan; broil until flesh is no longer translucent, flipping once, about 5 minutes per side. Serve fish topped with relish.
  5. Serving Size: Yields about 3 1/2 ounces of fish and 6 tablespoons of relish per serving.
