method
1. Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and dry well on absorbent kitchen paper. Cut into serving portions and remove any bones.
2. Season the flour with salt and use it to dust the fish. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the fish on both sides for 3 - 4 minutes, or until cooked. Lift on to a plate and set aside.
3. Rinse out and dry the pan. Heat a little more oil and fry the onion, garlic, ginger and chillies just to bring out the flavour. Do not brown.
4. Blend the terasi with a little \vater, to make a paste. Add it to the onion mixture, with a little extra water if necessary. Cook for 2 minutes and then stir in the lemon juice, brown sugar and soy sauce.
5. Pour over the fish and serve, hot or cold, with roughly torn lettuce.
For a buffet dish cut the fish into bite-size pieces or serving portions.
