Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 6 – 8 slices rye or spelt bread
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 handfuls basil leaves
- ¼ cup cornflour or rice flour
- 1 egg
- 4 fillets firm white fish (e.g. rockling or ling)
- coconut oil
- 2 tomatoes, finely diced
- ¼ red onion, finely chopped
- 1 handful fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 lime
- salt and pepper
Method
- In a food processor combine bread, garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper and basil leaves and mix to make a spicy bread crumb mix. Make it as fine or as chunky as you like.
- Place the flour on a dinner plate, whisk the eggs in a wide, shallow bowl (with a dash of water) and place breadcrumb mix on another dinner plate.
- Coat each piece of fish in flour, dip in egg wash and then the breadcrumb mix. Press down gently to make sure the crumbs stick.
- Place 1 – 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook fish for 5 minutes on each side or until the crust is crisp and the fish is cooked through.
- Serve topped with the salsa and remaining lime cut into wedges.
To make a salsa:
Combine tomato, onion and coriander leaves. Toss together with the juice of half a lime.
