This recipe works well with a wide variety of fish. We like a firm white fish such as tilapia, cod, or flounder. Adjust the cooking time as needed to account for the thickness of the fish.

ingredients
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 pound fish fillets
1 teaspoon oil
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
directions
Combine the salt, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, and garlic in a small bowl. Place the fish on a plate. Sprinkle the fish evenly on both sides with the spice mixture. Cover and marinate the fish for 20 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease the bottom of a baking dish with the oil (use a large enough dish to fit the fish in a single layer).
Place the fish in an even layer in the bottom of the baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees F, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork (actual cook time will depend on the thickness of the fish).
Sprinkle the fish with the lemon juice just before serving. Serve hot.
recipe tips
Use fresh or properly thawed fish for the best results.
Pat the fish dry before applying the marinade.
Grease the baking dish lightly to prevent sticking.
Don't overcook the fish.
Serve with sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a salad for a complete meal.
Adjust the baking time according to the thickness of the fish fillets.
Experiment with different herbs and spices.

Feel free to experiment with spices like paprika, coriander, or a pinch of cayenne for heat.
How do I know when the fish is done?
The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and appears opaque throughout.
How should I store leftover baked fish?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Can I grill the fish instead of baking?
Yes, you can grill the fish over medium heat, but watch closely as cooking times may vary.
Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
It's best served fresh, but you can marinate the fish ahead and bake it just before serving.
Can I use frozen fish for this recipe?
Yes, just make sure the fish is fully thawed and patted dry before marinating and baking.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Such a nice recipe! Fish I used was hake and the flavours go so well together.

The recipe doesn't specify what kind of fish or thickness they should be. Because of the proposed 20-25 minute cooking time I assumed we should use something more dense so I used cod loins (I was actually looking for a tilapia recipe but they are too thin for this). I really liked the blend of flavors and marinating worked well.
