Roasted Wild Snapper with Raita

Cooking fish at home can often seem intimidating however it does not have to be. My go to way to cook fish is either in a curry or roasted in the oven. The star of this recipe is amchur, a spice native to India. Amchur, a light brown in color sun dried mango powder is absolutely delicious on roasted fish. The lemon notes of the crushed coriander seeds accentuate the flavor of the amchur.
