Golden Turmeric Fish (Indonesian baked fish recipe)
Recipe video above. This homestyle Indonesian baked fish recipe is made with a Turmeric Curry Paste slathered on to white fish fillets which are then baked, and served topped with an Indonesian-style tomato salsa called Sambal Tomat.The curry paste is a gorgeously vibrant yellow colour thanks to the turmeric, and packed with fragrant and fresh South-East Asian curry flavours (as opposed to big, in-your-face-spice like Indian curries!).Sambal Tomat comes in all forms, from complex versions with flavourings like shrimp paste, to simpler and fresh ones like this one. We only need a simple one, the curry paste has plenty of flavour!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prep: Preheat oven to 200°C / 390°F (180°C fan). Line a tray with baking / parchment paper.

3
Turmeric Curry Paste: Place ingredients in a container that fits a stick blender. Then blend with stick until smooth, using extra water if needed until it is a paste consistency (ie. can be slathered on fish).

Slather and bake: Smear paste onto surface of fish (not underside). Bake for ⏱️ 15 minutes until the internal temperature is 55°C/131°F (medium, just cooked but not raw at all, very juicy).

Rest: Remove from oven and remove fish from tray (otherwise it keeps cooking). Rest ⏱️ 3 minutes, serve over rice with Sambal Tomat (below) and extra fresh coriander.

Sambal Tomat Topping: Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add tomato, chilli and salt. Sauté ⏱️ 2 minutes until tomato is slightly softened. Stir through coriander, serve over fish.
