سمك مقلي مع صلصة كريولا
Latin American 20 Mins Prep · 15 Mins Cook
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, paprika and salt. Mix well.
- Score the fillet in a crosshatch pattern along the skin to keep its shape.
- Coat the fillets in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour and set aside.
- Thinly slice the red onion. Dice the tomato. Deseed and finely chop the chilli. Finely chop the coriander. Juice ½ a lime. Combine the red onion, tomato, chilli, coriander, lime juice, olive oil and salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavours to develop.
- Heat the oil in a large pan or pot over a medium heat. The oil should be deep enough to fully submerge the fish pieces.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated fish pieces, a few at a time, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry until golden brown and crispy, approx. 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the fried fish from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining fish pieces, working in batches, if necessary.
- To make the sauce, crush the garlic and finely chop the herbs. Place in a small bowl along with the yoghurt and mayonnaise and mix well.
- Serve the chicharrón de pescado hot with a sprinkle of paprika and the salsa criolla, sauce and lime wedges on the side.
