Ingredients

  • 2 pounds monkfish or your favorite white flesh fish
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons berbere
  • salt to taste
  • oil for frying
  • 1 thinly sliced onion
  • 2 finely chopped garlic cloves
  • 3 finely chopped small chiles
  • juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  • Sprinkle berbere over fish and leave for 1 hour to marinate.
  • Heat enough oil in a large skillet for deep frying. Add fish pieces and fry until golden on all sides and cooked through. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with a little salt.
  • Add onions and cook until golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Most of the oil will have evaporated. Add garlic and chiles. Cook for 1 more minute.
  • Return fish to the pan. Add lime juice and toss to combine.
  • Serve with lime and an extra garnish of more berbere.

Notes

The spice mix will yield about 1 cup.
