1Soften the garlic in olive oil; add the spices and chili; stir 30 seconds until fragrant.

2Add the grated tomato (and pepper); simmer 15 minutes into a thick, brick-red sauce.

3Season the fish; nestle the portions into the sauce skin-side down.

4Spoon sauce over; simmer covered 8–10 minutes until the fish just flakes — do not overcook.

5Finish with a squeeze of lemon and a fistful of cilantro.

6Serve warm or at room temperature — hraime improves as it sits.
