Curried Fish Filets

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This dish is quite flavorful and more exotic for the American tastes. This would classify as East Indian food. It’s full of flavor but not too spicy the way I did it.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp of minced, fresh ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, minced. You can use jar garlic for this.
• 1 tsp of curry powder
• 1 tsp of ground cumin
• a sprinkle of cayenne or to taste
• 4, 6-8 oz fish filets. This works well with a meaty fish and one that’s thicker.  ¾”-1” in thickness. Options include halibut, mahi mahi, tuna or salmon steaks

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

In a small bowl combine the ginger, the garlic, curry powder, cumin and cayenne. In a 9″ x 13″ ovenproof pan, spritz with olive oil spray and place in the fish fillets. Spread the seasoning combo over the top of each piece of fish. Cover and put in your refrigerator to marinate a minimum of 15 minutes or as long as all day. The longer it’s in, the stronger it will taste. Also be sure to cover it completely or when you get home from work your whole refrigerator will smell like a curry factory. Even the 15 minutes of marinade time is long enough.

When you take out the filets and get ready to cook you can decide if you want to scrape off some of the marinade. I do. I don’t like mine strong. I want full flavor but not the intense flavor of the ginger and garlic directly on my tongue.

Roast the fish in the pan for 15 – 20 minutes or until done to your preference.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
