Mix the fish with lemon juice, mustard, crushed garlic, salt, black pepper, and chopped hot pepper.
Slice the onions into rings, add them to the same marinade, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Remove the fish from the marinade, dry it, and fry each side in half the oil for 3 minutes.
Drain the onions and cook them in the remaining oil for 12 minutes, until softened and colored.
Add the marinade liquid to the onions and boil the sauce for 10 minutes.
Place the fish over the sauce and let it come together over low heat for 6 minutes.
Serve the fish with rice and roasted peppers.
💡 Tip: Drain the onions from the marinade and brown them separately; if they start with the fish, they release water and prevent browning.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve poisson yassa as a fish main with plain rice, lemon wedges, and optional roasted peppers.
