Recipe Details

This 25-minute recipe for a spicy, tangy, and flaky fish dish centers on a base of aromatic components—ginger, garlic, onion, and sesame oil—complemented by a richly sauced layer of tamarind.

The straightforward sauce is rapidly assembled due to its key ingredient: tamarind concentrate, a zesty component prevalent in South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Mexican cuisines. Additionally, sugar introduces a balancing sweetness, while chile powder and Thai green chiles deliver a fiery kick.

This vibrant, multi-layered dish features a gratifyingly simple preparation, transitioning from oven to weeknight dinner table in minimal time. Serve alongside white rice.
