Place the fish in a medium size bowl, add marinade mix and rub together to coat the fish evenly.

NOTE: turmeric stains everything so please make sure to wear gloves Also, use a bowl that you don’t mind getting stained.

Set bowl aside and let it sit at room temperature for an hour.

In a large pan, on medium high heat, add ½ cup of oil and fry half of the fish pieces, so you are frying in one single layer to create a nice browning, for 3 minutes on each side. Remove fish from pan and repeat the process with the remaining half. Add more oil to the pan and saute onions and the one inch green onions. Cook the onions for a couple of minutes, then gently add the fish and cook for two additional minutes, lightly tossing. When done, remove pan from heat and sprinkle dill, fried shallots and chopped peanuts on top. Drizzle green onion oil and serve immediately.

I like to eat this with vermicelli noodle salad (consisting of noodles, cucumbers, julienned carrots and shredded red leaf lettuce) and fish dipping sauce. You can also eat it over rice, or wrap it with rice paper roll and dip with fish dipping sauce.
