A killer savory marinade of shallots, fish sauce, toasted sesame oil, garlic, and turmeric permeates the fish and offers it a beautiful golden coloration. while you sear the fish in a hot-hot pan (go for stainless-steel or forged iron right here), it gets extraordinarily browned.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sliced shallots
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

- 1/2 cup torn fresh dill, divided
- 4 green onions, cut into (2-inch) pieces
- 1 tablespoon lower-sodium soy sauce
