Instructions

1
Wash and pat the fish absolutely dry; score the flesh and rub with lemon, salt and turmeric.

Rub the marinade of the ginger garlic paste and spices into the scores; rest it in the fridge.

Cook on medium-high so the crust shatters and the inside just turns opaque.

Chef's tip

Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
