Instructions
- Heat the oil in a pan over a moderate heat until just hot. Add the garlic and fry for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it as it'll turn bitter.
- Add the tomato puree and stir briefly before adding the paprika, cumin caraway, chilli powder and salt. Stir to combine then add a splash of water to ensure they don't burn.
- Add the tomato and water and stir to form a creamy sauce. Let this come to a simmer and cook gently for 5 minutes.
- Place the fish into the sauce and put on a lid. Let it poach for 10-12 minutes until it's cooked through. Remove from the heat and sprinkle over the lemon juice. Shake the pan a little to combine.
- To serve, make a small pool of sauce in a shallow bowl and place a fish fillet on top. Garnish with a little scattering of everything and serve hot. Alternatively, you can leave to come to room temperature (covered in the pan) and serve cold.
