Notes

To cook the perfect pan-fried fish, you need to use a heavy non-stick skillet.
When cooking the fish, don't flip the fish on the other side until it becomes brown because when it gets brown, it releases itself from the pan.
You can replace the dry ginger with a teaspoon of finely chopped fresh ginger.
Serve this dish with rice, mashed potatoes, or grilled veggies.
