How to Make Baked King Fish Cod In Tomato Sauce
- Wash and thoroughly pat dry 1 lb of king fish fillets.
- Marinate the fish fillets for 30 minutes with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, and 1/2 tsp chili powder.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tsp fennel seeds and 1 tsp mustard seeds. Once the mustard seeds begin to pop, add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 inch ginger (grated). Sauté until onions are light brown.
- Add 2 tsp cumin powder and 1-2 green chilies (finely chopped). Stir well.
- Add 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes, 1 tsp cumin powder, and 1 tsp garam masala. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Heat 1 tbsp oil in an oven-safe non-stick pan. Add the marinated fish fillets and brown on both sides.
- Transfer the fish to a baking dish.
- Pour the prepared tomato sauce over the fish.
- Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
