👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper.
2
Dredge each fish fillet in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the floured fish fillets in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook in batches.
4
Fry the fish for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
5
Remove the fried fish from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Set aside.
6
While the fish is frying or resting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
7
Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. If using, stir in the plain yogurt.
8
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and lemon juice if needed.
9
To serve, place the fried fish fillets on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the tahini sauce and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
