- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced on a mandoline
- 1 mango, pitted, peeled, and chopped
- 5 radishes, thinly sliced on a mandoline
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
- Canola oil, for frying
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound firm white fish fillets, such as tile, snapper, or striped bass, skin on, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup Soy-Lime Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
- Juice of 2 limes (about 1/4 cup)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as sriracha
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- (makes 1 cup)
- Fill a small bowl halfway with water and add 6 ice cubes.
- Add the onion slices and let soak for 5 minutes.
- This little trick removes the stinging bite of raw onion and makes the slices really crisp.
- Drain the onion and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the onion, mango, radishes, and cilantro.
- Stick the salad in the refrigerator while preparing the fish.
- Heat 2 inches of oil to 350F in a countertop electric fryer or deep pot.
- If you dont have a deep-fry thermometer, a good way to test if the oil is hot enough is to stick the end of a wooden spoon or chopstick in it.
- If bubbles circle around the end, then youre good to go.
- Combine the flour and cornstarch on a plate and season with salt and pepper.
- Lightly dredge the fish in the mixture, tapping off the excess.
- Working in batches, put the fish in a fryer basket or spider strainer and carefully lower into the hot oil.
- Fry the fish for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a paper towellined platter; season with salt and pepper while the fish is still hot.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the mango salad, tossing to coat.
- Arrange the salad on a platter and top with the fish.
- Serve immediately.
- Put the lime juice, soy sauce, hot sauce, shallot, ginger, garlic, honey, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Slowly drizzle in the oil in a stream while whisking to emulsify the vinaigrette.
