Preheat oven to 400f 2.
Blend garlic, chili, ginger, ½ the corriander, corriander seeds, brown sugar, turmeric, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, salt and lemon juice until it all becomes a smooth paste.

Coat one side of fish, stuff 1½ cups inside. Close opening, spread the rest of the masala over it. Cover tightly and bake for about 25 minutes.
