Recipe: Oven baked treadfin fish steak with Salt-Roasted Chicken Spices

Running our of healthy dinner idea? This is a very personal menu which is preferred with a little sweetness over fish and added celery for its richness in vitamin C and other active compounds which may lower cholesterol and useful in cancer prevention.


I used red apply for its natural sweetness but of course, green apple may be used if a sour taste is preferred.


Celery is added for its crunchy texture and health value
How it was done:
First, I applied about 2 tablespoonful (10g) of Seah's Spices Salt-Roasted Chicken Spices over both sides of the fish steak. Afterwhich, I placed diced apples and celery over fish and all over the bowl.


Cover tight with a aluminium foil and its ready for the oven.


I set it to 170 degrees and 15 mins.


Once cooked, do away with the foil and garnish with olives and basil. One may choose to do away with any of these, its really a personal choice. Now, its ready to be served with pasta or potato or salad or rice....anyway you like it.


Total time taken:
  • 20 mins
Ingredients used:
My Verdict:
The fish is firm yet tender soft when baked under such conditions. Neither the spice mix or apple has stolen the natural taste of a treadfin fish. Instead, both had added a fantastic combination to the otherwise ordinary fishy scent.


It may be a little surprising since it is stated for Chicken, but this spice mix does wonder for fish as well. Each packed of Seah's Spices Salt Roasted Chicken Spices comes in 2 sachets of 20g each. If you do not have a weight scale, 10g makes it half of the sachet. There is no hard and fix rules how much exactly as I noticed too much of it doesn't contributes to extreme saltiness. It may just reduce a little of the sweetness which is ideal for people who prefer less sweetness.
