Fish Pieces - 10 Nos.
Fish Fry Masala - 2 tbsp
Red Chilli powder - 1/2 tbsp
Turmeric (optional) - 1/4 tsp
Salt - To Taste
Lemon Juice - About 10 drops

Method

Marinating:

1. Wash the fish pieces really well. Drain the water completely.
2. Take the fish pieces in a bowl. Add all the other ingredients to the fish pieces.
3. Mix them well. Check for salt.
4. Keep in the freezer for an hour OR refrigerate 2 - 3 hrs.

Baking in the Oven:

1. Pre - heat the oven to 400 F.
2. Grease a baking tray with oil (Olive oil / any refined oil)
3. Arrange the fish pieces on the baking tray.
4. Bake for 20 minutes on the lower- most tray.
5. Flip over the fish pieces and bake for another 20 min.
6. Turn the oven to BROIL mode and broil the fish for 2 -3 min.
7. Serve as an appetizer OR enjoy as a side with rice and fish kuzhumbhu / sambhar / paruppu kuzhumbhu / dhal or any variety rice.

Note

1. Every oven is different. So baking time may change a bit by + / - 5 min.
2. If the fish pieces are thin, then 20 + 20 minutes should be fine for baking. If the pieces are thick, then 10 more minutes is needed for perfect cooking.
3. The Fish Fry masala can be replaced by 1 tbsp of red chilli powder.
4. In case, after 10 min of baking, if the baking tray has water oozed out from the fish, do the following: take all the fish pieces in a bowl, pour out the water in the sink, add little salt and chilli powder (to compensate for their loss in the water) arrange them back in the tray and continue baking.
