Yield 2-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger
2 tablespoons finely diced shallots
1 tablespoon chopped dill fronds
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound striped bass skin-on fish filets, or any kind of white fish
1 small yellow or white onion, sliced
1/3 bunch plus 2/3 bunch fresh dill, stemmed
2 plus 2 scallion stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
Persian cucumber, julienned
Pickled red onions
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
8 ounces vermicelli, cooked
Coco Rico Vietnamese Fish Sauce
Butter lettuce
"Mam Nem" (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix fish sauce, turmeric powder, garlic, ginger, shallots, dill fronds, and black pepper in a bowl. Add fish and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for no longer than 30 minutes, or else the fish will get too salty as you prepare the rest of the recipe.
  • Heat a little bit of oil on high heat in a pan/skillet and sauté onions until lightly golden. Add 1/3 bunch of fresh dill and two sliced scallions stalks to the party. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes. Plate the onions, scallions, and dill on a serving platter.Remove fish from bowl, drain, and dispose of marinade. Pat dry excess marinade with paper towels so the sugar in the fish sauce doesn't burn the fish.In the same pan used to cook the onions, heat a little more oil on medium-high heat. Pan-fry the fish for 3-4 minutes, or until both sides are evenly browned. If you have delicious skin-on fish, give some extra cooking love to that skin, which should turn nice and crispy before you flip it.Plate the fish on sautéed onions, scallions, and dill. Garnish with remaining fresh dill and scallions, cucumber, Pickled Red Onions, and peanuts.Serve immediately with sides of vermicelli noodles, Coco Rico Vietnamese Fish Sauce, and butter lettuce. Wrap everything, eat everything in a bowl, or whatever combination makes you happy. (I and many Vietnamese especially like it with "Mam Nem", a fermented fish and pineapple dipping sauce-don't knock it til you try it!) Enjoy one of my favoritest dishes evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavors were good, but the fish was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less chili next time.

I found the marinade to be a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time I make this recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish turned out dry and overcooked. I think I may have grilled it for too long.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some salmon fillets that I didn't know what to do with, and this recipe was the perfect solution.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The marinade really tenderizes the fish and infuses it with flavor.
