Fresh pomfret marinated in spices and lemon, grilled or steamed for a light, omega-3–rich heart-healthy main course.
Pomfret is a lean, white fish that’s easy to digest and provides high-quality protein with minimal fat. This recipe uses a light marinade of lemon, garlic, and spices before grilling or steaming, preserving nutrients without adding excess oil. Fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart rhythm, reduce inflammation, and lower triglyceride levels.
This preparation avoids deep-frying, making it suitable for those managing cholesterol and blood pressure. It pairs beautifully with sautéed greens or a light salad.
Mix lemon juice, garlic, ginger, turmeric, chili, pepper, and salt.

Rub marinade over fish, refrigerate 30 mins.

Grill on a pan/oven at 200°C for 12–15 mins, flipping once, or steam for 15 mins.
Brush lightly with olive oil before serving.

Yes, mackerel or tilapia works.
Both are heart-friendly; steaming is lower in fat.
Best eaten fresh.
