Crispy Delights: Enjoying Fried Fish with a Side of Mixed Vegetables
Fried Fish Beside Mixed Vegetables
Fried fish beside mixed vegetables is a dish that combines a protein source (fish) with a variety of vegetables. The fish is typically coated in a batter and fried until crispy, while the mixed vegetables may include a variety of different vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, bell peppers, and onions. The dish is often served with a side of rice or noodles.
From a nutritional standpoint, this dish can be a healthy and balanced meal, as it provides protein from the fish and a variety of vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the mixed vegetables. However, the fried aspect of the fish can add excess fat and calories to the dish, so it’s important to be mindful of portion sizes and cooking methods. Additionally, the type of fish used can also impact the nutritional value of the dish, with leaner options like tilapia or cod being lower in calories and fat compared to fattier fish like salmon or tuna.
How to make Fried Fish?
Here is a basic recipe for making fried fish:
Ingredients:
- 4-6 fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or catfish)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the milk and eggs.
- Dip each fish fillet into the milk mixture, then dredge it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
- Once the oil is hot, add the fish fillets to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook the fish for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
- Serve the fried fish immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and your choice of dipping sauce (such as tartar sauce or hot sauce).
Note: The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fish fillets. It’s important to make sure the fish is cooked through before serving.
