Shortly, you will learn how to cook white fish in breadcrumbs in an exceptional manner. That's not all the good news I have in store for you. The fish in this recipe, aside from the crunchy breadcrumbs, also looks spectacular, owing to artistic cuts. Simply looking at it could make your mouth water. Understandably, fried fish in hot oil can be paired with various sides. French fries, vibrant salads, groats, rice, or traditional mashed potatoes should fit nicely here.
The fish in crispy breadcrumbs using this method is sure to impress with its taste and appearance. It's hard to resist such a decadent dish!
Ingredients:
- 0.88 lb of white fish fillet,
- seasonings: salt and pepper,
- 2 eggs,
- ½ cup of wheat flour,
- 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika,
- 1 tablespoon of dried thyme.
Preparation:
Step 1. Begin by cutting the white fish to form a mini-checkerboard pattern along its length.
Step 2. Next, make a long cut nearly dividing the fish into two, leaving one end intact while fastening the other ends with 2-3 toothpicks.
That's not all there is to it; now season the fish to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 3. Then, wrap the fish as if you're dealing with faworki (traditional Polish crullers).
Step 4. After that, prepare the breadcrumbs. Dip the fish first in beaten eggs, then roll it in a mixture of flour, sweet paprika, and dried thyme.
Step 5. Once the fish is fully breaded, drop it into a frying pan with hot oil. Ensure the oil is adequately hot. Fry the fish for 4 minutes on each side.
Step 6. After removing the fish from the pan, place it on a paper towel to absorb the extra grease. Finally, serve it with your preferred sides. This time, I opted for fries and fresh parsley, which mainly played an aesthetic role, but also adds a unique flavor profile to the entire dish. Bon appétit!
