Agristada
Here is another version of fried fish, this time with a lemon sauce, popular in Sephardic communities. As with the previous recipe, the fish can also be served cold.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds filleted scrod or whiting or equivalent in halibut steaks
- 4 tablespoons fine matzo meal
- 4 tablespoons oil
- juice of 2 lemons
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 egg yolks lightly beaten
Instructions
- Dip the fish pieces in the matzo meal to coat them, then shake off the excess. Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Add fish steaks and cook until the flesh is firm, about 5 minutes on each side. Cover skillet and reduce the heat.
- Combine the lemon juice with the water, seasonings, and spices. Add this mixture to the skillet and cover again. Cook for 15 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the fish to a serving platter; keep warm. Pour cooking liquid over the beaten egg yolks, stirring constantly, then return the liquid to the skillet and reheat over low heat until it thickens; do not let it boil.
- Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.
