Step 1
Pat fish fillets dry. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear fish 3 minutes per side until skin is golden and flesh flakes easily.

Transfer fish to a plate. In the same skillet, crisp shallots over medium heat, stirring, until golden brown and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
Step 4
Whisk fish sauce and lime juice together in a small bowl for dipping sauce. Set aside.

Divide cooked rice between two bowls. Top each with a seared fish fillet, crispy shallots, cilantro, mint, and scallions.
