Prepare the Fish: Start by cleaning the Blanak fish thoroughly. Rub the fish with lime juice and salt, then set aside.

Cook the Fish: Reduce the heat to low and add the Blanak fish to the pan. Pour in 500 ml of water, ensuring the fish is submerged. Stir gently to combine.

Season and Simmer: Season the dish with salt to taste. Allow it to simmer until the fish is fully cooked and the flavors meld together.
