Fijian Fish Lolo

Sometimes the simplest dishes can be the best dishes, and this amazing Fijean dish has only 3 ingredients (plus oil, salt & pepper) - and yet it's as good as anything you will be served in a restaurant.

I will admit that the original recipe had more: 8 minced cloves of garlic and 2 chopped serrano chilis, to be added with the onions, and chopped cilantro to be added at the end. But I didn't have any garlic or chilis at home, and I forgot about the cilantro, and I'm glad I did. This dish was perfect in its simplicity.

You can use any white fish you want, I used swai. Serve with steamed rice.

This recipe takes about 20 minutes to make. It requires a saute pan.
