👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Pat the cleaned fish dry with paper towels. Make a few shallow diagonal slits on each side of the fish.
2
In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each fish in the seasoned flour, ensuring it's evenly coated.
3
Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 350°F/175°C).
4
Carefully place one fish at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
5
Remove the fish from the oil and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. Repeat with the second fish.
6
While the fish is frying or draining, prepare the salad: In a bowl, combine lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion.
7
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the salad with the dressing just before serving.
8
Serve the fried fish immediately with lime wedges and the green salad on the side.
