Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 4 white fish fillets
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 1 inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
  • 5 cashew halves
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 0.5 cup chopped tomato
  • 0.25 cup vegetable broth

Method
 

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Mix 2 tablespoons oil, mustard, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a shallow glass bowl.
  3. Add fish and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. While the fish is marinating, combine onion, garlic, ginger, and cashews in a blender or food processor; pulse until mixture forms a paste.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  6. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add cashew paste; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Add cayenne pepper, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, cumin, coriander, sugar, and turmeric to the cashew paste in the skillet; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Stir in tomato and broth.
  8. Remove fish from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade. Arrange fish in a baking dish and pour sauce over top.
  9. Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
