Squeeze half a lemon too over the fish. Immediately cover the pan with its lid (preferably glass lid so u can see if the heat is drying out the fish)
- Cover and cook undisturbed for 15 minutes on very low heat without opening the lid. (High heat will dry out the dish so keep an eye on it)Once covered do not open the lid and check.The heat trapped in the pan cooks the fish to perfection.
- Switch off heat (do not open the lid to check) and allow it to rest on the stove top itself for another 15 minutes with the lid closed.( The fish should look moist and there should be pan juices inside)
- After 15 minutes of resting open the lid and serve.Pour all the remaining juices in the sides of the pan on top of the fish before serving.Garnish with chopped spring onion and parsley.Serve along with the cooked lemon wedges. It tastes sweet and tart not bitter as expected . Tastes excellent with fish.
