Fried Sesame Fish with Asian Cucumber Salad

Fried Sesame Fish with Asian Cucumber Salad

An original idea for a fish dinner – fillets served with a cucumber salad based on chili and soy sauce.

Ingredients

  • red onion: 1
  • brown sugar: 2 teaspoons
  • red chili pepper: 1
  • cucumber: 2
  • rapeseed oil: 4 tablespoons
  • soy sauce: 3 tablespoons
  • salt: 1 pinch
  • lime juice: 20 ml
  • white sesame seeds: 30 g
  • fillet of squid: 480 g

Preparation

  1. Thaw the fish fillets.
  2. Peel and slice the onion into thin strips. Peel the cucumbers and slice them lengthwise into thin slices. Mix with the onion. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and juice from 1/2 lime, mix well, and set aside.
  3. Clean the chili, remove the seeds, and finely chop. Mix with the remaining soy sauce, lime juice, 2 tablespoons of rapeseed oil, brown sugar, and salt, season to taste. Mix with the cucumber and set aside.
  4. Transfer the sesame seeds to a plate. Rinse and dry the fish fillets, then cut them across into strips about 4 cm wide. Drizzle with the mixture of soy sauce and lime juice and coat one side with sesame seeds. Fry on the remaining rapeseed oil for 3 minutes on each side. Serve with the salad. Goes great with wheat bread or fried potatoes.
