Nileperch Fish Steaks

Fish has always been a favorite in my family, I enjoy cooking it even though at times the smell of raw fish is overwhelming. I prefer marinating it with simple spices to ensure that it doesn’t take out the fish taste while at the same time, sealing the smell of raw fish.

Lemon juice, garlic, and ginger are usually my go-to ingredients whenever I am marinating fish, also at times I could add some black pepper, garlic powder, and Garam masala. These extra spices also enhance the flavors of the fish and make it even tastier. Recently I discovered milk also makes a very good sauce. We are always used to cooking fish in coconut milk, so milk may be new to you but I assure you it’s tastier. Ensure you have cardamom spices as these also go well with the milk.
