Step by Step Method
Step 1
Pat the fillet dry and place on a plate, skin side up.
Step 2
With a sharp knife cut slits in the skin about a half inch apart, just deep enough to see the flesh, being careful not to cut through the fish.
Step 3
Season both sides of the fillet lightly with sea salt and drizzle with the juice of half a lemon; set aside.
Step 4
Grind the fennel seed with a mortar and pestle, add the clove garlic, chopped onion, 1/2 tablespoon of the coconut oil, Indian Masala, kosher salt and ground cumin; mash into a thick paste.
Step 5
Rub this paste over the fish and place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Melt enough coconut oil to coat the bottom of a skillet over medium-high heat; place the fish skin side down in the skillet and cook for five minutes shaking the skillet every so often so the fish doesn’t stick, turn over and cook for a few more minutes until the fish flakes when poked with a fork, this will depend on the thickness of the fish.
Step 7
Serve with the remainder of the lemon.
Step 8
Enjoy!
