Something like this, perhaps:

...filish....
..fish+/-dim-/...

Or make a three line interlinear:
Line 1:  text   ....filish....
Line 2: parse   ....f-il-ish...
Line 3: translation..fish+dim....
This is probably the clearest (and most commonly seen) method.

or, of there are several infixes, you could simply mark them in some way--

..filish........sinulat
..fish-dim*.....write-OF*

Your grammar notes would have to indicate that "xxx*" marks infixes.
Your glossary would include fish "fish", sulat "write" etc.
