Seared fish is a healthier alternative to fried fish. Here are two failproof ways to prepare seared fish. The recipe is the same, only the cooking method is different.

Ingredients

• Lime juice: Of 1 lime
• Black pepper powder: 1½ tablespoons
• Chilli powder: 1 tablespoon
• Turmeric powder: 1 pinch
• Salt: As per taste
• Shallots: 10 nos (minced)
• Ginger: ½ tablespoon (minced)
• Green chilli: ½ tablespoon (minced)
• Garlic: ½ tablespoon (minced)

How to prepare

Mix the ingredients from 2 to 6 together and apply it on the fish well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Add more salt if needed. Apply it generously on the fish. Put the fish in a banana leaf and cover it so that steam cannot escape. Heat up a frying pan or grill and cook the fish on both sides. It should take about 7-10 minutes on each side.

Another option is to heat up some oil in a pan and fry the fish with very little oil. Make sure that both sides of the fish are well cooked. It should take about 10 minute on each side.
