Cover the pan and continue to simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.

Remove the pandan leaves from the sauce. Season the sauce with salt to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water.
