About This Recipe
This mouthwatering roasted fish recipe is a flavor-packed delight, combining crispy pan-fried fish with aromatic spices and fresh vegetables for an unforgettable meal. The secret lies in four essential ingredients—ginger, flower pepper, cumin, and bean paste—which create a rich, savory depth. The fish is first marinated in salt for tenderness, then pan-fried to golden perfection with ginger, flower pepper, and cumin for a fragrant crust. A stir-fry of scallions, chili peppers, garlic paste, and bean paste forms a bold, spicy base, while lotus root adds a satisfying crunch. Simmered together with hot water, the fish absorbs all the bold flavors, resulting in a tender, juicy bite. Finished with fresh scallions and shallots, this dish is as visually stunning as it is delicious. Perfect for spice lovers, this roasted fish brings together crispy texture, fiery heat, and umami richness in every bite!
