INGREDIENTS:
1 clove garlic 1 scallion, white part only 1 medium ripe tomato
1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 slice bluefish or king mackerel (about 1/2 pound and 1/2-inch thick) 2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar sprinkling of fresh ground black pepper



1 Slice the garlic and scallion paper thin; combine and set aside. Cut the tomato into small dice and set aside.
2 In a small frying pan, just large enough to accommodate the fish slice, heat the oil over a high flame and add the fish. Turn the heat down to medium and fry the fish on either side until well browned. Remove to a warm platter.
3 Remove all the oil from the pan except for 2 teaspoons. Add the garlic and scallion and stir until brown. Add the diced tomato and stir; then add the fish sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, then pour over the fish and serve with rice.
