How to Make Baked Fish With Spices

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Place two large (12-inch) pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a baking sheet.
  3. Gently make three 1/2-inch deep incisions on each side of the fish fillets.
  4. In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons tamarind sauce, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon peanut oil. Blend until completely smooth.
  5. Place fish fillets on the prepared foil. Spread the spice mixture evenly over both sides and inside the incisions of each fillet.
  6. Fold the foil over the fish, creating a sealed packet. Crimp the edges tightly to prevent any juices from escaping.
  7. Place the foil packets in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Carefully remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions (optional).
