This vibrant Hanoi grilled turmeric fish, traditionally known as Cha Ca, is a celebrated Vietnamese classic that perfectly balances aromatic herbs with earthy spices. The white fish fillets are marinated in a fragrant blend of turmeric and ginger before being pan-fried until the skin is beautifully crisp. It is a sensory delight, with the bright yellow hue of the fish accented by generous handfuls of fresh dill and spring onions, creating a dish that is as visually stunning as it is delicious.
As a high-protein meal, this recipe is both light and satisfying, making it an excellent choice for a nutritious mid-week dinner or a social weekend feast. Serve it in the traditional manner with rice vermicelli noodles, crunchy peanuts, and fresh butter lettuce leaves for wrapping. The combination of textures—from the tender fish to the crisp cucumber and pickled onions—offers a truly authentic taste of Northern Vietnamese cuisine that is easy to recreate in any home kitchen.

How to make Hanoi Grilled Turmeric Fish with Dill and Onion
Volver al contenidoMix fish sauce, turmeric powder, garlic, ginger, shallots, dill fronds, and black pepper in a bowl. Add fish and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for no longer than 30 minutes, or else the fish will get too salty as you prepare the rest of the recipe.
Heat a little bit of oil on high heat in a pan/skillet and sauté onions until lightly golden. Add 1/3 bunch of fresh dill and two sliced spring onions stalks to the party. Sauté for an additional 1–2 minutes. Plate the onions, spring onions, and dill on a serving platter.Remove fish from bowl, drain, and dispose of marinade. Pat dry excess marinade with paper towels so the sugar in the fish sauce doesn’t burn the fish.In the same pan used to cook the onions, heat a little more oil on medium-high heat. Pan-fry the fish for 3–4 minutes, or until both sides are evenly browned. If you have delicious skin-on fish, give some extra cooking love to that skin, which should turn nice and crispy before you flip it.Plate the fish on sautéed onions, spring onions, and dill. Garnish with remaining fresh dill and spring onions, cucumber, Pickled Red Onions, and peanuts.Serve immediately with sides of vermicelli noodles, Coco Rico Vietnamese Fish Sauce, and butter lettuce. Wrap everything, eat everything in a bowl, or whatever combination makes you happy. (I and many Vietnamese especially like it with “Mam Nem”, a fermented fish and pineapple dipping sauce—don’t knock it til you try it!) Enjoy one of my favoritest dishes evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!
