Ingredients

  • White fish fillets (cod, sea bass): 2
  • Timut pepper, crushed: 1 teaspoon
  • Lakadong turmeric: 1/2 teaspoon Lakadong Turmeric Powder
  • Green chili (optional): 1
  • Lime juice
  • Fresh coriander
  • Oil
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. 1
    The Marinade: Marinate the fish with turmeric, salt and part of the crushed Timut pepper.
  2. 2
    Cooking: Pan-fry the fish in a little oil until golden.
  3. 3
    Finishing: At the end of cooking, sprinkle the remaining fresh Timut pepper. The heat releases grapefruit notes.

    Serving: Serve with basmati rice and a squeeze of lime.

Tips

Timut pepper should be added in two stages: part in the marinade for depth, the rest as a finishing touch for the grapefruit aroma which evaporates with prolonged cooking.
