  • 2 tbsp butter (salted)
  • 2 large cloves garlic (minced)
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp pouring cream
  • PANFRIED MASALA FISH
  • 4 deep water hake (thawed)
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri chili powder
  • 1 tsp fine cumin
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp cajun spice
  • juice of half a lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • oil or butter for frying

Instructions
 

  • CREAMY GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE
  • Heat butter until melted. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds
  • Stir in the lemon juice and mayonnaise and simmer for 1 minute
  • Remove from heat, and stir in the cream.
  • PANFRIED MASALA FISH
  • Wipe fish clean of any moisture.
  • Mix the spices and lemon juice together and rub onto both sides of the fish.
  • Heat butter and/or oil in a large skillet over medium heat
  • When butter starts to sizzle, add in the fish, spacing them well apart.
  • I fried two at a time.
  • Fry for three minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish you’re using.
  • Mine required three minutes on each side.
  • The fish will turn slightly golden and crisp at the edges.
  • Drizzle creamy garlic butter sauce over the fish and serve with crispy chips.
  • You may also add white vinegar to the dish for that extra aroma and flavour.
