Turmeric and dill might seem to be an odd couple at first, but this spice-herb matchup works very nicely with any meaty fish.

Yield: 4 servings

Add turmeric, chili, galangal, ginger, garlic, shrimp paste, and fish sauce to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse until paste has formed. Rub fish with paste, and place on an oven-safe baking dish. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Preheat broiler to 400˚F. Season fish with salt. Broil until just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
