4. 4

   Prepare the sauce by combining the shrimp paste, lime juice, and sugar in a small bowl; stir well until the sugar dissolves.

   Бележка на готвача: Add a few drops of hot water if the shrimp paste is too thick to mix.

6. 6

   Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, then add the vegetable oil.

   Once the oil is hot, add the marinated fish in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan.

8. 8

   Cook the fish for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

   Около 6 мин

   Бележка на готвача: Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it can become dry.

9. 9

   Once the fish is cooked, add the dill and scallions to the pan with the fish.

10. 10

    Toss gently and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until the herbs are slightly wilted.

    Около 2 мин

    Бележка на готвача: The herbs should still be vibrant green.
