Grilled Fish in Pepper & Orange juice.

Ok, something healthy now.
Normally grilled fish comes out healthy but not so "yummy". This one would appeal more to the Indian palate as it has a nice aroma of "masalas" without being "curried".

Grilled Fish in Pepper & Orange Juice

Ingredients

Sea fish - Bhetki or Sole works well - 10 pieces of medium size ( around 2.5 inch by 1.5 inch)
Half cup orange juice ( can be fresh or canned )
1 large red onion
Paprika - 1 tspn
Olive oil - 1 tspn
Marinade - see below.

For the marinade
- 1.5 tbspn garlic and green chilly paste
- 1 tbspn ginger paste
- 1 tbspn freshly ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbspn cooking oil
- 3-4 tablespoon lemon juice

Whisk marinade into smooth paste. Coat the pieces of fish in this and refrigerate for 4 hours.
Remove from fridge.
Take a shallow baking tray. Chop 2 onions into large discs and saute lightly. Arrange marinated fish pieces on tray and spread the fried onion rings on it. Now spread orange juice lightly and evenly over the fish. Sprinkle paprika (to taste) and 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Pre-heat oven at 170. Grill for 30-40 mins. Serve hot - sprinkled with coriander.

  1. This sounds eminently doable.... the only quick question: Is Bhekti/ Sole available at Cold Storage?
