This is one of those “one taste and you’ll want to finish the lot” dishes and a great way to bring out the flavour of a delicate sweet tasting fish
Serves 6
- Lemon sole 450g, skinned fillets
- Fresh white breadcrumbs 100g
- Parmesan 25g, finely grated
- Cayenne pepper 1⁄2 tsp
- Sunflower oil for deep frying
- Plain flour 50g
- Eggs 3, beaten
- Sea salt
- Lemon wedges to serve
- Cut each lemon sole fillet diagonally across into finger-sized thick strips.
- Mix the breadcrumbs with the grated parmesan and cayenne pepper and set aside.
- Heat some oil for deep frying to 190°c or until a cube of day-old bread will brown in about a minute. Line a baking tray with plenty of kitchen paper.
- Coat the goujons a few at a time in the flour, then in beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, making sure that they all take on an even coating and remain separate.
- Drop a small handful of goujons into the oil and deep fry for about 1 minute until crisp and golden. Lift out with a slotted spoon onto the tray to drain and repeat with the remainder, making sure the oil has come back to temperature first.
- Place the goujons onto 4 warmed plates and garnish with the lemon wedges.
- Serve with a mixed whole leaf or herb salad, dressed with a little extra virgin oil and some seasoning.
