A flavorful and aromatic Indian-inspired fish dish, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
In a small bowl, mix together the ginger, garlic, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a thick paste.
Adding a small amount of warm water can help achieve the desired paste consistency.
Brush a baking sheet with some melted butter and place the fish fillets on it.
Ensure the baking sheet is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
Spread the marinade evenly over both sides of the fish fillets and let them sit for 15-30 minutes.
Marinating the fish longer allows the flavors to penetrate better.
Preheat the broiler to high heat.
Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler for optimal cooking.
Drizzle the fish with additional melted butter and broil for 5-6 minutes until browned. Flip the fillets, drizzle with more butter, and broil for another 5-6 minutes until cooked through.
Keep an eye on the fish to avoid overcooking.
Serve the broiled fish immediately with a garnish of fresh herbs or lemon slices.
Serving the dish hot enhances the flavors and presentation.
