Preparation:

1. Start to heat the oven to 350°Fahrenheit. Combine the cumin, flour, allspice, curry, cinnamon, and some salt and pepper for seasoning in a shallow bowl.  Pat fish dry and dredge it in the spice and flour mixture; gently shake off some excess.
2. Use a medium-sized frying pan then add the oil then sauté over medium up to medium-high fire; when the oil is hot enough, add the fish. Sear fish and wait until it is golden brown on one side (usually takes about 3 to 5 mins), flip the fish then sear it and wait until it is browned on the other side (usually takes about 3 mins).
3. Put the fish on the oven so that you may finish cooking (usually takes about 3 to 5 mins). You will know if the fish is cooked well when it is opaque in color flakes easily with a fork.

The fish has to be served on top of the rice along with the Tahini Salad.
