Dinner Tonight: Fish Fillets With Spicy Green Undercoat Recipe
- 5 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, from about 1/2 lemon
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 jalapeno, stemmed, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1-1/2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 pounds fish fillets with skin (red snapper, trout, or porgy will work), cut into four pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Canola oil for frying
- Add tomatoes, lemon juice, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, ginger and salt to a food processor or blender. Process until chopped fine. Pour sauce into a large bowl. Add the fillets and toss well. Set aside for 30 minutes.
- Remove fillets from the marinade, and transfer to a plate. Using a slotted spoon, extract some of the solids from the marinade and pat them on both sides of the fillets.
- Pour the flour onto a large plate. Carefully add one fillet at a time, and cover both sides with the flour. Set aside on a new clean plate. Repeat process with other fillets.
- Pour enough oil to 1/4-inch up the sides of a saute pan. Turn heat to medium-high.
- When oil is shimmering, slip the fillets in one at a time. Cook until reddish brown, about three minutes a side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with rice or spinach.
