Sweet and Sour Fish
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour or rye
- 1/2 teaspoon salt divided
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 pound fish fillets firm-fleshed, such as catfish or tilapia
- 4 teaspoons olive oil, extra-virgin
- 1 medium sweet vidalia onions halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup white vinegar distilled
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 8 whole black peppercorns
- 3 whole allspice berries
- 1/2 each bay leaves
- Combine flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a wide shallow bowl or pie pan.
- Dip fish in the mixture to coat, shaking off the excess.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add the fish and cook, in batches if necessary, carefully turning once, until opaque in the center and golden on the outside, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a shallow glass dish large enough to fit the fillets in a single layer.
- Top with onion slices.
- Combine vinegar, water, sugar, peppercorns, allspice berries, bay leaf and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Immediately pour over the fish.
- Remove the bay leaf.
- Let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or cover, refrigerate and marinate for up to 3 days.
- Remove the fish and onions from the marinade.
- Serve warm or chilled.
