You want a nice canvas for the marinade to work its magic. Now, carefully coat each fillet in the tandoori masala. Make sure it gets into all the nooks and crannies. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Ideally you should do it for an hour or two. The longer it marinates, the deeper the flavour gets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3.<br \/>\nTandoor Time (or Oven Time, Let&#8217;s Be Honest)<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preheat your oven to 220\u00b0C (425\u00b0F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the oven is nice and hot, arrange the marinated fish on the baking sheet. Drizzle them with a little vegetable oil for extra moisture. Brush any leftover marinade on top for good measure.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2657\" style=\"width: 465px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-151648.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2657\" data-attachment-id=\"2657\" data-permalink=\"\/blog\/snapper-fish-tandoori\/screenshot-2024-06-27-151648\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.freshtohome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-151648.png?fit=641%2C423&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"641,423\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Witness the beginning of a culinary journey as fresh snappers are gently positioned into a preheated oven.
