Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Fish fillets (firm white fish such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the foil with a small amount of vegetable oil.
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush or spoon the marinade generously over the tops and sides of each fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Drizzle the marinated fish with the vegetable oil to help achieve a golden, slightly crisp top under the broiler.
Place the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven (4-6 inches from the broiler). Broil the fish for 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fish—it should flake easily and appear opaque.
Carefully remove the fish from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for garnish.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish. Pair with steamed rice, naan, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
