This looks so yum… Very sure it tasted yummy too… Jus one doubt… How come you deboned it so perfectly…
@SumiI didn't debone it. But you can debone so it will be easy when you are serving.
for how long should we bake it
Sounds like a flavorful and healthy way to prepare this fish. Catherine
@AnonymousIt is mentioned in the recipe
This is something that suits my no oil diet!!!! I just love u for posting this, aarthi…
It was such a kick ass recipe. Mint lemon and fish combinations were fantastic. Especially once it's done you flake the fish and eat it with the sauce. Heavenly. N healthy. We loved it.
P.s- can you post more continental recipes like chicken parmigiana or roasted chicken with jus etc
