Step 1
Boil water in a small pot, then gently add eggs and cook 7 minutes for soft-boiled yolks.
Step 2
Pat milkfish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Lay milkfish skin-side down in the skillet. Cook 4–5 minutes without moving until skin is crispy and golden.
Step 5
Flip fillets and cook 2 minutes more until flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
Step 6
Warm rice in the skillet alongside the fish for 1 minute, then plate with sliced cucumber, peeled egg, and a squeeze of lime if available.
