Prepare the ingredients: Dice the potatoes, cut the ham into thin strips, quarter the onions and slice them into thin rings, deseed and finely chop the chili, and finely grate the garlic cloves with the back of a knife. Cut the fish into bite-sized cubes, season with salt, and drizzle with a little lemon juice. Heat the oil in a pan, add the mustard seeds, and heat until they begin to pop. Stir briefly until they continue to pop and burst, then immediately add the potatoes, ham, and onions. Fry everything for 10-15 minutes on all sides, until the potatoes are evenly browned.
