Critical Success Points

  • Score the fish and coat it properly to prevent tearing during cooking.
  • Heat the pan before adding the fish to achieve a crispy skin.
  • Do not let the garlic burn while sautéing the aromatics.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw fish with clean hands and utensils to avoid contamination.
  • Very hot oil can splatter; use a partial lid or a splash guard.
  • Check that the fish is fully cooked (the flesh should be opaque and flake easily).
