Instructions
To embark on your culinary adventure, start by cleaning the fish thoroughly, ensuring it is free of any scales and impurities. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients listed in the table above for marination: the red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, and water. Mix them into a fine paste that will envelop the fish with flavors.
Once your marinade is ready, coat the fish pieces evenly with this spice mixture, making sure each piece is well covered. For the best results, allow the fish to marinate for at least 30 minutes; this will infuse it with robust flavors and enhance its taste.
While the fish is marinating, line your baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F), allowing it to warm up for about 10 minutes.
After the marinating period, arrange the fish pieces on the lined baking tray in a single layer. For a beautifully crisp texture, switch your oven to grill mode and place the tray inside. Grill the fish for 7 minutes, then carefully flip each piece to ensure even cooking. Grill for an additional 7 minutes.
As the fish begins to turn a lovely golden-brown color, flip it once more, and if desired, brush lightly with sunflower oil to enhance crispiness. Continue grilling for another 5 minutes.
After this time, give the fish a final flip, applying a sprinkle of oil or brushing it lightly before grilling for another 5 minutes. By this stage, your fish should be thoroughly cooked and deliciously crisp. If, however, you feel it needs more cooking, you can grill it for an extra 4 minutes, flipping the pieces after 2 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Once cooked to perfection, remove the fish from the oven and serve hot as a delightful appetizer. The Baked Fish Crisps pair wonderfully with Dhaniya Pudina chutney or any chutney of your choice, making for a truly satisfying and flavorful experience.
