MASALA PASTE
TOPPING
Marinate the two fish fillets in the lemon marinade for 15-20 minutes.
Remove the fillets with tongs - reserve remaining marinade. Slice fillets into 3 even sized strips lengthways but not right through at the top. Plait the fish and secure ends with a toothpick.
Place the sliced fruit into an oval or rectangular ovenproof dish and coat with the remaining marinade. Position the fish on top of the fruit. Mix all the ingredients for the masala paste together and brush generously over the fish.
Place the turmeric and desiccated coconut on a sheet of greaseproof paper and rub together between the palms of your hands to colour the coconut.
Sprinkle evenly over the fish.
Bake in the oven at 220C/425F for 20-25 minutes.
Serve with yellow rice and sambal salads - eg cucumber, finely chopped tomato and onion, green peppers finely diced and mixed with grated carrot.
