This tandoori Sea Bass Recipe is quick and easy!

Tandoori Sea Bass in minutes

I cook almost every meal that gets place on my family’s table. That doesn’t mean I’m always in the mood to cook. Sometimes after a hard day at work I just want the cooking process to be behind me so I can relax with a drink in front of the TV and put the stresses of the world behind me.

I’m sure I’m not the only one.

This is when Indian recipes like this quick and easy tandoori sea bass come in handy.

Anyone who reads my blog regularly will know that I spend a lot of time making chutneys, curry powders and pickles which I keep on hand for when I need them. I love doing this but also know that many people don’t.

This tandoori sea bass recipe could also be applied to other fish such as salmon, trout and bream.

If all you want to do is make a quick dinner, then by all means use off the shelf curry powder in this recipe. It won’t be quite as good as home-made but you will still love the end result.

From start to finish you could make this dinner in about fifteen minutes. Tandoori sea bass is also nice done on a BBQ.
