Meanwhile start the sauce, heat a pan with chili oil and add chopped onion, wait till it turns golden in color. Then add dried chili, half scallions and half cilantro. Cook as soon as they become aromatic & turn off the heat.
As soon as all the fish is done, transfer the pieces to the pan with the sauce mixture. Immediately add the salt; stir-fry constantly as you add the ground Sichuan peppercorns and the cumin, giving the pan a few shakes to toss.
