Directions

Step

Rinse the fish thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

Step

In a small bowl, combine the turmeric powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, and salt to create a spice mixture.

Step

Rub the spice mixture all over the fish, making sure to coat both sides and the cavity. Let the fish marinate for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Step

In a deep frying pan or wok, heat enough vegetable oil to fully submerge the fish over medium-high heat.

Step

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated fish to the pan, one or two at a time, depending on the size of your pan. Be cautious to avoid overcrowding.

Step

Fry the fish for approximately 4-6 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Adjust the frying time based on the size and thickness of the fish.

Step

Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step

Repeat the frying process with the remaining fish.

Step

Serve the Ikan Goreng hot, accompanied by fresh lime or lemon wedges on the side.

Tips for this recipe

For an extra crispy texture, you can lightly coat the fish with cornstarch or rice flour before frying. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fish to achieve a crispy exterior and prevent the fish from absorbing excess oil. Serve Ikan Goreng with steamed rice, noodles, or a side of fresh salad for a complete meal.
