To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook apple fish using 10 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Apple Fish:
- Take 2 Butter fish / Pomfret/ White Pomfret
- Get 1 Green Apple
- Prepare 1 bowl fresh Mint leaves
- Take 1 bowl fresh coriander leaves
- Prepare 3-4 cloves Garlic
- Get 1 inch piece of Ginger
- Prepare 2 green chilies
- Get 2 banana leaves for steaming it
- Prepare 1/2 tsp. Sea salt for marinade and 2-3 tsp for rubbing the fish
- Prepare 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions to make Apple Fish:
- Clean the fish thoroughly - Lay it flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice off about 1/4 inch strip from the underside of the fish - the section between the head and lower fin. Now slide your knife into this cut to open up the inner pocket of the fish. Using your index finger, reach in and pull out the guts from this pocket and discard. Then rinse the fish well with water, set aside, and do the same for the other fish. If you wish, you can ask your fish monger to dress it by clippin
- Take some salt and rub the fish generously with it and leave for 8-10 minutes and then wash thoroughly with fresh water.This is to remove any sliminess and the fishy stench from the fish. It also makes the fish soft. While the fish is resting in its salty rub, we can make the marinade. Grate the green Apple using a grater. Make a green chutney or paste by adding fresh mint leaves, coriander leaves, ginger, garlic chili, sea salt and lemon juice in a grinder.
- Mix the grated apple and green paste and stuff nicely in the cuts of the fish from all the sides. Marinate the fish at least for 1/2 hour.
- Cut the banana leaf into 2 "sheets" large enough to wrap the fish individually. Grease the leaf with a drop of oil and place the fish in the center of the leaf and wrap.
- Seal the fish in this banana envelopes using toothpicks. If you do not have banana leaf, can use leaf of turmeric plant or Aluminium sheet.
- To steam the fish: Place the wrapped fish directly in a bamboo steamer(or other type of steamer), seam-side up for 7-8 minutes.You can also place the wrapped fish on a pan over a stove top on low flame for 3 minutes and then carefully flip the envelope and cook for another 2 minutes. If using a microwave oven, simply place the wrapped fish on the microwave rotating plate and set time for 4 minutes.I have cooked 1 fish using a microwave and the other using a pan on Induction cook top.
- Serve hot with steamed rice and salad.
