Week 2 of the July Recipe a Week Challenge and it kicked into high gear quickly. It's been such a crazy week that all I want to do is get take out or climb straight to bed and skip dinner. In my head this recipe felt like work. It's actually really easy, I am just tired and therefore lazy.
The picture of the fish had me drooling - I was so excited to tuck into this dish. The most challenging part was deciding what to make with is! Have a look at the original recipe here
Pan-friend Fish with Lemon Cream Sauce
(adapted to serve 2 people, but visit the original for a recipe for 4 people)
125ml cream
juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 garlic clove, minced
salt & pepper to taste
2 fish fillets (I sued one large fillet of hake and portioned into two)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp seasoning spice (I used a Cajun spice)
oil for frying
Start off by making the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a saucepan and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Allow to reduce slightly (it will thicken as you go) and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
While the sauce is on the go, combine the flour, salt, pepper and seasoning on a baking tray. Coat the fish fillets with the seasoned flour.
Heat the oil in a hot pan. Once hot, fry the fish starting with the skin side down first until gold brown. Fish cooks quickly so you should flip the fillet over after about 3 minutes depending on thickness. Fry for another 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Fish goes white and looses the translucent colour once cooked.
Serve hot. You can either pour over the sauce or serve on the side.
We served the fish with steamed baby carrots and new potatoes.
Enjoy!
Feel free to join in on the challenge at any time.
