That looks like Sichuan-style spicy boiled fish, *Shui Zhu Yu (水煮鱼)*.
It's made with tender white fish fillets poached in a fiery chili oil broth, served over bean sprouts, and topped with dried red chilies, Sichuan peppercorns, and chopped spring onion.
The bright orange-red oil and numbing-spicy aroma are the giveaway — it's meant to be eaten with plain rice to balance the heat.
Did you have it at a Chinese restaurant in Lahore, or while travelling?
