Seared fish fillet with scallion - chilli pepper has a clean flavour and can be dressed up with a versatile spicy relish.
Serves4 Persons
Preparation Time2 minutes
Cooking Time15 minutes


  • 6 tbsp olive oil (divided into 4 and 2 tbsp)
  • 4 white fish fillet
  • salt to taste
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 1 bunch thinly sliced scallions(spring onions)
  • 1-2 thinly sliced chilli pepper(thick red/green chilli)
  • 2 cups cilantro/coriander leaves with tender stems.
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice.
  • 1 tsp of toasted sesame seeds

  1. Heat 1tbsp of olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium- high until very hot but not smoking.
  2. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper and cook one by one, gently pressing occasionally with a spatula to ensure contact with the pan, until the flesh is nearly opaque.( nearly 5-6 min)
  3. Turn and cook until it is opaque throughout.( 2 more minutes)
  4. Cook the remaining 3 fish fillets in the same way or simultaneously  in a big pan.
  5. Meanwhile, toss scallions, chilli, cilantro, lime juice, sesame seeds, and remaining 2tbsp oil in a medium bowl to prepare a relish. Season with salt.
  6. Serve the fish fillets with topped with the scallion- chilli relish.

  • The fish fillet can be fresh or frozen. I prefer to use cream dory as it is mild and succulent in taste. If frozen, defrost it by putting it outside at room temp. for 2-3 hours or put it in lukewarm water for half an hour.
