METHOD

Marinate your fish. Heat your oil in a non stick pan, with mustard seeds and Methi (Fenugreek) seeds. Add your fish, reduce heat to medium low to cook and water out. Increase heat once your fish seems almost done. Turn once the oil surface and all the water has evaporated. Turn gently to prevent your fish from breaking. Brown on the other end.
