Step 1:
First of all, wash and clean the fish, make some slits (a long, narrow cut or opening) on it. (See pic-1).
Then marinate the Pomfreat with Lime Juice, pinch of Salt and Turmeric powder for 30 minutes.
Step 2:

Then dip the fish into the batter which was created in step 2 and marinate it for at least 1 hour.
Step 4:
Heat the oven at 180C .Brush the unsalted butter over the grill pan then place the Pomfreat fish on it.
Cook the fish for 7-10 minutes and then turn the fish on other side, brush the butter on the fish and cook it for another 7-10 minutes. Don’t overcook them because overcooking will make the fish hard.
Serve it hot with Cilantro Chutney & Lemon.
Notes
You can marinate the fish more than an hour to make it more tasty. The fish should be soft when properly grilled, don't overcook it. I have used red food color here to bring the nice texture.
