All About That Base
For this dish, the fish medallions you choose are important and should be of a relatively high quality, but the star of this dish is the base- a sauce made with onion, brown vinegar, with notes of bay leaves, curry powder, and pepper. The sauce also contains sriracha wasabi, a chili sauce containing wasabi paste, horseradish, and chili, that will add a slight kick to the dish. If you would like, you can additionally add spices such as ginger, garlic, and turmeric to give your fish curry a lovely deep orange color. While the sauce is very important for this dish, make sure that your fish medallions are skinless and have been deboned!
So Simple and Easy
While some fish curry recipes might be a bit more complex in their steps, this particular recipe makes it easy for you! The base sauce is made in just one pan, combined with the fish medallions in an oven dish, and then just baked in the oven for about 30 minutes. It is simple, without compromise on flavor or quality.
Garnish this tasty fish curry with some fresh coriander for aroma and color, and serve it with some bread on the side, or cook up some basmati rice or homemade roti for a truly authentic Indian dish.
