This spicy Indian-inspired dish is super easy, but you do need to plan ahead as it needs to marinate in the spiced yogurt mixture for two hours. The yogurt marinade gives the fish a little tang and also helps prevent it from drying out under the high heat of the broiler. Cover the broiler pan with aluminum foil for an easy cleanup. It’s also a very good idea to combine the relish ingredients in a non-reactive bowl, like glass, ceramic, or even plastic, to prevent the acidic ingredients from taking on a metallic taste. Serve the fish and relish over basmati rice tossed with fresh chopped cilantro or with warm naan for a complete, well-spiced meal.
