Crispy Dory Fish Fillets
Ingredients:
- 4 dory fish fillets
- 1 lime, juiced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
- 1 large egg, beaten
- For the coating:
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Fish: Start by washing the dory fish fillets thoroughly. To eliminate any lingering fishy odor, coat the fillets with lime juice and let them sit for 10 minutes.
-
Season the Fillets: After the lime juice has done its job, rinse the fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Mix the minced garlic, ground black pepper, salt, and chicken bouillon powder together, then rub this mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
-
Marinate: Cover the seasoned fillets and refrigerate them overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the fish, enhancing its taste.
-
Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
-
Coat the Fillets: Dip each marinated fish fillet into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dredge the fillets in the flour-cornstarch mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating well.
-
Fry the Fish: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated fillets to the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Remove the fillets from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the crispy dory fish fillets hot, and enjoy a delightful, crunchy treat.
