"A very spicy dish. This recipe is inspired by my mother's Bengali fish recipe she used to make in India."

Ready In
- Mix the mustard, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a shallow bowl. Add the fish fillets, turning to coat. Marinate the fish in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Combine the onion, garlic, ginger, and cashews in a blender or food processor and pulse until the mixture forms a paste.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the prepared paste; cook and stir for a minute or two. Add the cayenne pepper, turmeric, cumin, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Cook and stir for an additional five minutes. Stir in the chopped tomato and vegetable broth.
- Arrange the fish fillets in a baking dish, discarding any extra marinade. Top the fish with the sauce, cover the baking dish, and bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes
- You can use frozen fish fillets for this recipe; thaw them before use. Decrease the amount of cayenne pepper if you prefer a less spicy dish.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.

I like spicy food but this is not my cup of tea. It really wasn't that spicy or that tasty to me.

The house smelled wonderful! I used mahi mahi fillets. Scared it would be too hot, I used 1/2 tsp cayenne and 1/2 tsp. madras curry powder. Served with rice and steamed spinach.

Crazy good! We followed the recipe exactly and it was a perfect heat for us. Note: we generally order our food at medium spice level at restaurants.

This was a good dish. My family loved it. Easy and fast to make with tons of flavor. I served it with Saffron rice, rosemary garlic potatoes and Naan.
