About two weeks ago I was craving Chinese food. In India,
that’s not a problem because we have all the numbers on speed dial (just
kidding). Let’s just say that when I crave Chinese food in India I don’t have
to make it myself. We’re yet to explore Chinese food takeaway / dining options
in Oslo. My daughter loves Chinese food too and more so when it comes in a
takeaway box. This one knows the
difference between home cooked Chinese food and takeaway and she’s only two.
Anyway, I tried making this fish dish after scouring the web
for ideas. I went in for a baked dish, because now that I have an oven I have
every intention of over working it.
This is not a Chinese dish; you may call it an Asian inspired
dish if you like. This is also very easy to make, because I don’t believe in
slaving in the kitchen. You can prep this in about 10 mins, keep in the fridge
and shove it in the oven when you’re ready for dinner. You can bake immediately too, but letting the
fish soak in the marinade makes it more sumptuous.
I used Salmon because that’s what was there in my
fridge. If you choose to try this with
another fish let me know how it went. In Bangalore, while talking to this pub
owner he said that they use a fish called Bhetki in most dishes like fish
fingers because they are easy to filet and are quite meaty. So you can probably ask your fish guy at the
supermarket to filet this fish for you.
