Delicious. I used the full topping amount on two barramundi filets. I'm not sure it's quite enough to stretch to four filets.
We get our seafood from a guy who drives around our town (Progreso, Yucatan) with a big cooler in his trunk. We always get his jumbo shrimp, but this week he didn't have change for my 500-peso bill so I bought a kilo of sea bass instead. So I had to find a recipe, and this one also uses the bits of nuts I keep in a bag in the freezer; the dregs left behind when I chop nuts for other things. This was GREAT. Only complaint is there's no need to mess up a big bowl if your baking dish is glass!
We made this for NYE, and it was delicious! It's a festive and filling main course -- the nuts make it a bit heavy, but we found this was offset by the yoghurt. Cooked it as directed -- it has a pronounced curry flavor, but pairs deliciously with the fish and yoghurt. Also has a nice punch from the ginger. We will consider using this marinade for another type of white fish.
