Rinse the Hilsha fish steaks under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes to create a marinade.
Place the fish steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let the fish marinate at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated fish steaks to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Avoid moving them too much to ensure a good sear.
Remove the fish from the skillet and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the fish with capers and garnish with fresh lemon wedges to enhance the flavor.
Serve hot, accompanied by a side of your choice such as a mixed greens salad or roasted vegetables.
