Perfect Fried Fish

  • 2 white fleshed fish fillets (cod or whiting is good)
  • 30g plain flour
  • 1 lemon, juice only
  • Olive oil for frying
  • Chopped parsley
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
  • Scatter some flour over a plate - enough to coat the fish steaks. Dip your fish into the lemon juice, and slather all over the flesh. Dredge through the flour, ensuring both sides get covered.
  • Fry the fish in olive oil for about 5 minutes each side. You want them cooked through and firm, but not tough. Serve with crusty bread, a good scattering of parsley, a grind of salt, and some fresh lemon wedges. Perfection!
