Dry the fish, coat lightly in flour, and shake off the excess.
- 3

6 min06:00 - 4
Transfer the fish to a plate, then fry the garlic and tomato paste in the same pan for 2 minutes.
2 min02:00 - 5
Add the hot water and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
5 min05:00 - 6
Return the fish to the sauce and cook over low heat for 4 minutes so it absorbs the flavor.
4 min04:00 - 7
Add the lemon juice and black pepper at the last moment and serve without waiting.
💡 Tip: Do not simmer the fish in the sauce for long; after the pre-fry, 4 minutes in the sauce seasons it without breaking the flesh.
