Once the oil separates from the onion, spread the onion masala into an even layer and place the fish on top. Sprinkle salt on top of the fish. Close with a lid and allow it to cook for 5 minutes or until the fish goes opaque. Flip the fish along with the onions so that the onions end up on top of the fish once flipped.
