Fish Tikka is a flavorful and aromatic Indian appetizer that features pieces of tender fish marinated in a blend of yogurt, spices, and herbs, then grilled to perfection. The fish, typically a firm variety like cod, tilapia, or salmon, is marinated in a mixture of turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, ginger, garlic, and fresh lemon juice, allowing it to absorb the rich flavors. The marinade not only adds depth of flavor but also helps in tenderizing the fish, resulting in a juicy, flavorful bite.

Once marinated, the fish pieces are skewered and cooked in a tandoor (clay oven) or on a grill, giving them a slightly smoky, charred exterior while retaining moisture and tenderness inside. The result is a delicate balance of spice, smokiness, and freshness. Fish Tikka is typically served with a side of cooling mint chutney, fresh onions, and lemon wedges, making it a perfect appetizer or a side dish for any Indian meal. This dish is an excellent choice for seafood lovers and those seeking a light yet flavorful dish.
