Basil and Paprika Baked Fish

Basil and Paprika Baked Fish

Posted 2016-05-08 by Annalisa Brownfollow
Ling is a firm, textured and meaty fish with no bones, which makes it an excellent fish for baking particularly in curries. I find it mildly sweet in taste and often use herbs and spices that are quite vibrant and bold; it's a fish that can withstand the aromatic flavours without being overpowered by them.

In this instance basil and paprika combine to make the perfect pairing in this baked ling dish. A quick and easy dish that is full of flavour and charm and which characterises the best qualities of clean eating and good health.

is full of flavour but easy and quick to make

Method
  • Add the basil leaves, paprika, garlic and coconut oil into a food processor and puree the ingredients until a paste forms.

  • Fresh Basil and Paprika combine to create a special fish dish.


  • Place the fish into a baking dish and cover the fish liberally with the Basil and Paprika mixture, rubbing the mixture into the fish.

  • Place the fish in the refrigerator for 5 minutes and allow the basil and paprika flavours penetrate the fish.

  • Remove the fish from the refrigerator, turn the fish over and baste the other side.
