Preparation

Prepare the marinade: blend or pound together the garlic, cumin, turmeric, paprika, deseeded chilli, lemon juice, oil and salt into a thick paste.
Generously coat the fish fillets with the spice paste on all sides, cover and let marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Heat a grill or griddle pan over high heat.
Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for 4 minutes without touching them, so the skin turns crisp.
Gently flip and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Sprinkle with fresh chopped coriander and serve with rice or lahoh bread.
