Step 1
Mix yogurt with tandoori spices and half the lime juice. Pat fish dry inside and out, then coat generously inside and on both sides.
Step 2
Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat. Lightly oil the surface, then lay fish and sear 5 minutes per side until skin chars and flesh flakes easily.
Step 3
Blend mint, lime zest, remaining lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth. If too thick, thin with a splash of water.
Step 4
Toss red onion with a pinch of salt; let sit 2 minutes to soften. Toss cabbage separately with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Plate fish with mint chutney drizzled on top. Arrange pickled onions and shredded cabbage slaw on the side.
