Serves 4
We made this flavorful dish with salmon which became incredibly tender after an overnight marinade and gentle steaming. Although not very spicy, the mustard sauce reminds me of wasabi.
Ingredients:
About 1 1/2 lbs of fish pieces or 4 fish filets (salmon or trout are ideal)
1 large leek, cleaned and sliced thin (only white and medium green, not dark green parts)
4 green onions, sliced thin
For the sauce:
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 inch fresh ginger, grated (about 1 Tbsp)
2-6 green chilis (4 = Medium Hot)
1 tsp cracked mustard seed (Rai Kuria)
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp salt
1 15oz can diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp mustard oil
Method:
For the sauce:
1. Put all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Puree. (or use an immersion blender).
2. Add sauce and fish to a casserole. Sink fish into the mixture and cover completely. Let marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Heat a little mustard oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and green onions. Cook until soft. Add fish and cover. Steam until just cooked through. Serve immediately over rice.
