Description
A flavorful Indonesian fish recipe featuring golden turmeric and a blend of spices, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, mix together the turmeric, coriander, cumin, garlic powder, ginger powder, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over the fish.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the fish fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
- Pour the coconut milk over the seasoned fish, allowing it to pool slightly around the fillets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a crispy texture, broil the fish for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- Substitute the white fish with salmon or shrimp for a different flavor profile.
