02Steps
- Pat the pomfret very dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and white pepper.
- Heat cooking oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the fish in the pan.
- Pan-fry for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid turning too frequently to get a crispy skin.

- Once the fish is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate.
- Sprinkle the julienned ginger and scallions over the hot fish.
- Heat the soy sauce dressing briefly in the pan or microwave until warm, then pour it evenly over the fish, ginger, and scallions. Serve immediately.
