Instructions

1. Prepare the Dori Fillet:
   Begin by cutting the dori fillet into pieces according to your preference. In a mixing bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients (garlic, white pepper, mushroom broth powder, sweet soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and lemon juice) and mix well.
   Marinate the fish: Place the dori pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for approximately one hour to allow the flavors to meld.

2. Make the Sambal Matah:
   While the fish marinates, prepare the sambal matah. In a small pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot. In the meantime, slice the large tomato, bird’s eye chilies, and red shallots.
   Once the oil is hot, pour it over the sliced ingredients in a bowl. This process will help release the flavors and aromas. Add salt to taste, mixing everything well. Set aside to allow the sambal to cool slightly.

3. Grill the Dori:
   After the marinating time has elapsed, remove the dori fillet from the refrigerator. Preheat your grill pan (or any grill of your choice), and lightly grease it with a small amount of margarine or oil.
   Place the marinated dori fillet on the grill, cooking over low heat until the fish turns a deep golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillet.

4. Serve the Dish:
   Once the dori is perfectly grilled, transfer it to a serving plate. Generously spoon the sambal matah over the grilled fish, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

5. Enjoy:
   Your Grilled Dori with Sambal Matah is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve with steamed rice and additional sambal on the side for those who love an extra kick. This dish is not only visually appealing but also a true explosion of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
