👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Make 3 diagonal cuts on the flesh of each fish. In a bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Marinate the fish in this mixture for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- 2
While the fish is marinating, prepare the tajadas. Peel the green plantains and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). You can use a mandoline for uniform slices.
- 3
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Dredge each marinated fish in flour, ensuring it's evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- 5
Carefully place the floured fish into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
- 6
While the fish is frying, fry the plantain slices in batches until golden and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Season lightly with salt.
- 7
Remove the fried fish from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with the fresh tajadas, pickled red cabbage, pickled onions, and lime wedges.
