Broiled Indian Spiced Fish - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 teaspoons ginger, finely grated
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 (6 ounce) fish fillets (or steaks, swordfish, halibut, haddock, tuna, or salmon)

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine ginger, garlic, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir in about 1 tablespoon warm water to form a very thick paste.
Brush a baking sheet or broiler pan with 1 tablespoon butter; place fish on top.
Cover fish on both sides with marinade; set aside for at least 15 minutes but no more than 30 minutes.
Preheat broiler.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons butter over fish; broil until nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn over steaks, and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons butter; broil until browned and cooked through.
Serve immediately.
