How to Make Broiled Indian Spiced Fish

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 inch ginger (grated), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon warm water to create a thick paste.
  3. Preheat your broiler.
  4. Brush a baking sheet or broiler pan with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  5. Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Generously coat both sides of the fish with the spice paste.
  7. Let the fish marinate for at least 15 minutes, but no more than 30 minutes.
  8. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of butter over the fish.
  9. Broil for 5-6 minutes, until nicely browned.
  10. Flip the fish fillets and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  11. Broil for another 5-6 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
