Fried Fish Fillet


Malaysians prefer to fry their fish as a whole. But occasionally, I would fry some fish fillet as an alternative to give some varieties in daily meals. This is a very simple fried fish fillet that you can do at home in a matter of minutes. You can use it as a sandwich filling or on its own. Some dollops of mayonnaise or chili sauce will make it even better! Do try!


Ingredients

6-8 fish fillets ( any fish)
salt, to taste
pepper,to taste
a pinch of paprika
1 tea spoon turmeric powder
flour, for coating
3 eggs, for coating (beaten well)
oil, for frying
lemon juice from one lemon (optional)

Methods

1. After you have cleaned your fish fillet, coat them with some salt, pepper, paprika and turmeric powder.

2. Coat each fillet with flour and coat it with the beaten eggs, and with the flour again. Do the same process with the rest of the fillets.

3. In a heated frying pan, pour some oil for frying. Add the fillet and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

4. Serve them with some mayonnaise, chilli sauce and some fresh vegetables like sliced cucumber, tomato and carrots. Squeeze some lemon juice for an extra zest.
