Pan Fried Basa Fillets With Garlic Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a saute pan on top of the grill. When the pan is hot add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and heat. Dredge the bass fillets in the flour and shake off any excess. Place the fillets in the pan and pan fry about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the fish from the pan. Add the rest of the butter to the pan and melt. When the butter is hot, add the sliced garlic. Fry the garlic until it just begins to turn light golden brown. Add the herbs and remove from the heat. Carefully, add the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, place a fillet on a plate and spoon some of the lemon garlic herb butter over the fish.

Steps:

• In a medium pan of salted, boiling water, cook the potatoes for 12 mins, or until tender.
• While the potatoes are cooking, make the salsa: in a bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar, lime zest and half the lime juice, the chilli, half the garlic, and the coriander. Season and add extra lime juice to taste, if you like.
• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Season the flour and use to coat the basa fillets, then add them to the pan. Fry for 30 secs over a high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-high and fry for a further 2 mins each side, or until golden and cooked through.
• Drain the potatoes. Return to the pan, along with the remaining olive oil and garlic. Lightly crush with a potato masher or a fork, then divide between 2 plates. Top with the fish and drizzle over the chilli and coriander salsa.
