Fish Marinade

Method

Marinating the Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, salt, black pepper powder, and olive oil. Mix well to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Add the tilapia fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Grilling the Fish

  1. 3

    Preheat the Tawa

    Heat a tawa (flat skillet) over medium heat. Add a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Grill the Fish

    Once the tawa is hot, place the marinated tilapia fillets on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and has a nice golden-brown crust.

Serving the Dish

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the fish from the tawa and place on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
