Baked King Fish/ Cod in Tomato sauce

Recipe #86892 | 1 hour | 30 min prep | add private note

This is a wonderful Madhur Jaffrey recipe for fish. King Fish is my favourite fish and I get the freshest fish right at my door (at 9.00 a.m.)from my fish vendor named Jai Singh. It is almost as fresh as just out of the sea. Hmmm... one of the pluses of living near the sea. We have fish almost 4 days a week and I love variety so have a host of recipes that I have tried and used over and over again for 8 years now. This is definitely the top of the list.

This was a easy tasty dish. I made it with trout though, as i had no cod. I will definitely be using this recipe again, maybe with cod next time.

    Good! I used only 1 lb of cod fillets. I guess its because I had fillets, but I had no where enough of the chili/turmeric/salt mixture (you don't mention it here, but Madhur calls for the mixture to be made of 1/4 tsp each salt, cayenne and turmeric) to coat my fillets properly. In all, I needed about 3/4 tsp each to cover my fillets. Pretty though! I did sear my fillets in my cast iron pan, although with the fillets, I really don't think this was necessary, since they didn't really brown and they are quite flaky, so if you're using fillets, I recommend just going ahead and pouring the sauce over them and tossing them in the oven. I baked this in my cast iron and it cooked quick as a wink. We served with another Madhur Jaffrey recipe for cauliflower with fennel and black mustard seeds "Baghari Phool Gobi" (from the same cookbook as this one, titled, "Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking"). A good meal with good flavor. I was a little surprised that this was not spicier since I used 3 times the quanity cayenne called for in her original recipe, so if I make this again, I will certainly follow your suggestion of adding chili pepper. Very good... wish my fish had been fresher, though. Thanks, Fay!

    What a wonderful dish. The tomato sauce for this was so fragrant and flavorful, with just the right amount of heat. I used cod fillets, which happened to be on sale this week, and only 1 green chili because it was quite large, and dear hubby doesn't have quite the tolerance for "heat" that I do : >. Because I used fillets instead of steaks, I skipped browning them in a pan, and just let them cook through in the oven. I was so pleased with this dish because it tasted evey bit as good, if not better, then some of the tomato based curry dishes at the Indian restuarants here!!
