Fish in a Green Sauce

Fish

• 1 1/2 lb salmon or king fish
• salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1/8 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/8 tsp chili powder

Green Sauce

• 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 oz onions, peeled and finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
• 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
• 3 jalapeno or serrano peppers
• 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala

Rub the fish on both sides with a generous sprinkle of salt, lots of freshly ground pepper and the turmeric and chili powder. Rub well and set aside.

Put 3 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan and set over high heat. When hot, put in the fish and brown quickly on both sides without letting it cook through. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Stir and fry until the onion browns a bit. Add the cilantro, tomato, peppers, ginger, lemon juice, and salt. Stir and cook over medium-high heat until the cilantro and tomato have completely wilted. Spread the green sauce around in the frying pan and check the salt.

Lay the fish over the top. Now spoon some green sauce over the fish. Sprinkle the chili powder and garam masala over the top. Bring to a simmer. Cover, lower the heat and simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
