Herby North Korean Grilled Fish Bake

Assemble the ingredients: fish, cumin, coriander, bay leaf, lemon juice, yogurt, stock.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the fish and cook until grilled.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of North Korean flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional North Korean accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
