Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons, grated Fresh ginger
- 2 small, finely chopped Red chilli
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander (cilantro)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the fish fillets and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing grated ginger, chopped red chilli, minced garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, and olive oil.
Place the fish fillets in the prepared baking dish. Pour the marinade evenly over the fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) on top of the fish.
Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm with steamed rice, quinoa, or a side of sautéed greens.
