First Post -- Bengali-Style Mustard Fish

Really simple Indian-style mustard fish. You can use halibut or cod fillets... we bought California halibut from Santa Monica Fish Co and it was fantastic. 1 1/2 lbs was good for 4 people.

All you do is crush together 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp chili powder, 2 tbls whole grain mustard, 2 tbls black mustard seeds, 2 tbls sunflower or canola oil, the juice of 1 lime, and salt to create a paste. Mix it and brush it on the fish fillets, which you lay down on top of parchment paper on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. This fish was amazing...the flavors just popped out and it was very tender. Quite easy and delicious.

We served it with an Indian coconut/veggie stew and rice.

Very solid pre-basketball meal.
