Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 15 min.

Prepare 4 fillets fish, carefully remove any remaining bones, and dry on absorbant paper.

Salt lightly and coat thoroughly on both sides with the spices.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Pour 4 tablespoons olive oil into a large frying pan on medium heat. When hot, add the fish fillets, skin side down.

The skin will tighten to start with. This is normal, so leave it be.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

After 2 or 3 minutes, you can press down on the fillets with a fork to flatten them.

Cook until the edges of the fish begin to turn opaque.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Turn the fillets over. The skin should be well fried.

Leave to cook for a further 3 minutes.

Stage 5

Better still, stick an electronic thermometer into the thickets part of the flesh and wait until it reaches 140°F (60°C ), sign that the fish is perfectly cooked.

Stage 6

Serve immediately with the accompaniment of your choice (sesame rice here).

Remarks

The original French version of this recipe uses Olivier Roellinger's "Retour des indes" mix. A more easily obtainable substitute would be a mild curry or tandoori mix.

Keeping

Should be eaten immediately.
