Creating delectable Vietnamese Turmeric Fish is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Marinate the Fish: In a bowl, combine turmeric powder, minced garlic, minced shallots, fish sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Add the fish fillets and coat well. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

3. Cook the Fish: Carefully add the marinated fish to the skillet. Cook on one side for about 5-7 minutes until it turns golden brown, then flip to cook the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked and flaky.

4. Add Herbs: Once the fish is cooked, add the fresh dill and cilantro to the skillet. Stir gently to combine, allowing the herbs to wilt slightly without losing their vibrant color.

5. Plate the Dish: Transfer the fish to a serving platter, garnishing with fresh lime wedges and sliced green chilies if using.

6. Serve Immediately: Serve your Vietnamese Turmeric Fish hot, alongside rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

These straightforward steps will lead you to a wonderfully flavorful dish that highlights the best of Vietnamese cooking.
