  • Tilapia fillet - 1 ¾ lb
Other ingredients:

Instructions
  1. Grind cinnamon and clove separately and make powders of them if you don’t have store bought at home. Make a paste of ginger and garlic and keep it ready.
  2. Mix all the above given ingredients under marinade together to a thick paste and check the seasoning. Add extra salt and spice if needed at this stage. Drizzle water at last to get the right consistency – do not add too much water otherwise the marinade won’t stick to the fish while baking.
  4. Add the fish fillets to the marinade and give a good massage for at least 20 minutes. Leave it to rest overnight or for at least half an hour.
  6. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit. Spray or brush enough olive oil on the aluminum sheet.
  8. Place the marinated fish fillets on top of the sheet and spray olive oil on them as well. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes.
  9. Flip the fish fillets and spray the other side of the fillets with olive oil and cook for another 5 to 8 minutes.
  10. Set the oven in broiler and bake for couple of minutes more to get the crispiness.
  11. Remove from the oven and enjoy with lemon wedges on the side. You could also season curry leaves and toss them on top of the fish to add extra flavor to the dish.
  12. Enjoy them as is as a snack or have them along with white rice and fish gravy ! :)
