White fish filet with spicy tomato sauce is just like a fish shakshuka, a great choice for a summer dish. Sweet, sour, and a combination of spices elevate a once simple fish filet to a whole other level of flavor and texture.

Add the Yellow Onion (1/2), Garlic (3 cloves), and Fresh Ginger (2 tsp) into the hot pan, and saute until soft and fragrant. Add the Ground Coriander (1 tsp), Paprika (1 tsp), Red Chili Powder (as needed), and Ground Turmeric (as needed) and stir until well combined.
