Step 1
Pat fish dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess. Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 3
Slide fish into the skillet without moving for 3 minutes. Flip once and cook 2 minutes more until golden and cooked through.
Step 4
Transfer fish to a plate. In the same skillet, add water, fish sauce, and lime juice; bring to a simmer for 1 minute.
Step 5
Stir in dill until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return fish to the skillet to coat in the sauce.
Step 6
Serve immediately in shallow bowls with broth spooned over the fish.
