Tandoori Trout

Published on 5 January 2025 at 18:50

We have a fusion of spices and fresh seafood with our Tandoori Trout. Marinated in a blend of yogurt, garlic, ginger, and aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric, cooked to perfection under a grill or on top of an open flame, ensuring a smoky, charred exterior and tender, flaky flesh within. 

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix tandoori masala, yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to make a marinade.
  • Coat the trout fillets with the marinade and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Grill the marinated trout for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander.

Tips for Best Results

For an extra smoky flavour, consider using a charcoal grill or adding a few pieces of soaked wood chips to your gas grill. Ensure the trout fillets are evenly coated with the marinade for consistent flavour in every bite. Additionally, avoid overcooking the fish to retain its tenderness and juiciness. Pair the dish with a side of mint chutney or lemon wedges for a refreshing contrast.
