I used my own smoked tandoori masala in this dish. If you would like to make your own, you’ll find the recipe on my site (http://www.greatcurryrecipes.net/)You could also use another good quality tandoori store bought tandoor powder.

 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large wild sea bass or two large farmed
• 1 tablespoon tandoori masala
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 shallots – finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic
• 3 tablespoons butter
• The rind and juice of one lemon
• Salt and pepper to taste.

 

Method

1. Dry the fish skin and then sprinkle with the tandoori masala.
2. Melt the butter in a small frying pan and then throw in the shallots and fry for a couple of minutes until soft.
3. Add the garlic and lemon zest followed by the lemon juice and let it bubble for about 20 seconds.
4. Keep the sauce warm while you cook the fish.
5. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the sea bass on both sides until the skin is crispy on the outside and the fish is cooked through.
6. Place equal portions of fish on each plate.
7. Bring the sauce back up to a simmer and then spoon the hot sauce over the fish fillets.
8. Season with salt and pepper and serve. (My smoked spice salt works really well here.)
9. Enjoy.
