Yellowtail fish with tamarind onions
Tamarind paste is made from the tamarind fruit. It is mostly used in Asian and Middle Eastern cooking to give a slightly sour flavour to dishes. It lasts for years in your fridge. If you don’t want to buy it just add more lime juice and honey instead! You can use any fresh fish for this recipe!
