This beautiful and delicious fish fillet dish is flavoured with a paste made of grilled red banana chillies and grilled tomatoes. Combination of ginger, garlic, fresh cream and lemon adds extra flavour to this dish.

Fish Fillet in Grilled Red Chilli and Grilled Tomato Paste

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon of oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
3 red banana chillies (you may also use red capsicum)
4 medium-size tomatoes, cut in half
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic
Small piece of ginger
Salt to taste
2 tablespoon of fresh cream
3 tablespoon of lemon juice
A kilo of fish fillet, cut in small pieces (I used Barramundi fillet)

Preparation:

Grill red banana chillies and tomatoes until they are slightly charred.

Once it's done, let it cool. Peel off the skin of the tomatoes.
In a blender, put onion, ginger, garlic, grilled chillies and tomatoes and blend well until it becomes a fine paste.

Heat oil in a saucepan in a low heat. Once the oil gets heated, put the mustard seeds and let it crackle.
Pour the fine paste you prepared in the blender. Cook it for 4-5 minutes.
Add salt, cream and lemon juice and stir well.

Add the fish fillet pieces and mix well to coat it with the paste. Cover and simmer for another 3-4 minutes.

That is such a lovely and flavorful sauce for the fish. I think this is what it might take to get my husband to eat more fish so thank you for sharing.

The roasted peppers must really give the sauce an amazing flavour. The fish looks so delicious swimming in that rich creamy sauce.
