Fried fish with garlic and lemon in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry fish with garlic and lemon in a frying pan? First of all, prepare all the products listed on the list. I have a sea rooster fish, but you can take any red or white fish. If you have frozen fish, first remove it from the freezer and leave it at room temperature until completely thawed. Gut the carcasses, remove scales and remove the gills from the heads.

2. STEP 2

   

   If the fish is large, then cut it into medium-sized portions. Guinea rooster is usually small in size, so I cook it whole. So, rinse the carcasses and dry them with napkins to remove any remaining water. Salt on all sides to taste. Heat odorless vegetable oil in a thick-bottomed frying pan. Place the fish in a frying pan and fry over medium heat until cooked on all sides.

3. STEP 3

   

   Focus on the appearance of a golden, delicious crust. If you overcook fish in a frying pan, it can become dry and tough. It took me about 15-20 minutes to fully cook the gurnard.

4. STEP 4

   

   At this time, work on the rest of the products. Peel the onion and garlic and rinse with lemon.

5. STEP 5

   

   Chop the onion and dill finely. Pass the garlic through a garlic press or chop it by hand as finely as possible. By the way, you can exclude garlic from the recipe and use your favorite dry seasonings instead.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour olive oil into a deep small container and add dill and garlic. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon. Mix everything until smooth.

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the fish from the pan. Place the onions in the same oil where the carcasses were fried. Stirring, fry until the onion is transparent.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the onion in an even layer on the bottom of a wide flat plate. Place the finished fish on top.

9. STEP 9

   

   Using a silicone brush, apply the olive oil, lemon, garlic and herb mixture evenly. Cover with foil and leave for literally two to three minutes.
