How to Make Bali Baked Fish
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pat 2 (6-ounce) fish fillets (such as cod, snapper, or mahi-mahi) dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- In a blender or food processor, combine 1/2 medium onion (roughly chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon tamarind paste, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons water. Blend until completely smooth.
- Arrange the seasoned fish fillets in a shallow baking dish. Pour the blended sauce evenly over the fish, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the foil and transfer the fillets to a serving dish. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed, and drizzle with the juice of 1/2 lemon.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving. Enjoy your taste of Bali!
