Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium. Add ginger and green chili, cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Whisk yogurt and turmeric together in a bowl, then pour into the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
Step 3
Pat fish dry, season with salt and pepper. Gently slide fish into the yogurt sauce without overlapping pieces.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 8-10 minutes.
