PAN-FRIED FLOUNDER AND COLE SLAW

Steps:

• For the Mayonnaise: Separate the egg yolks and place in a large bowl. Add mustard, salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Slowly drizzle in grapeseed oil while whisking to emulsify the yolks. Then, slowly drizzle in olive oil while constantly whisking to continue to emulsify the mayonnaise. When the mayonnaise is thick and rich, whisk in the vinegar. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups)
• For the cole slaw: Remove 1 cup of mayonnaise to a small bowl and reserve (This will keep, refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks). To the remaining mayonnaise, add the julienned cabbage, radishes, turnips, and carrots. Season with salt and pepper, and add cider vinegar. Drizzle with olive oil to soften the vegetables, add parsley, and set aside to marinate while preparing the fish.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Season fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Drizzle one tablespoon of oil in the pan for each piece of fish that is added to the pan and heat until almost smoking. Check marinated coleslaw for seasoning and add salt and pepper if necessary. Fold in kale followed by a squeeze of lemon.While pan is heating, check the marinating cole slaw and adjust for seasoning, adding salt, pepper, mayonnaise or vinegar to taste. Fold in Kale and finish with a squeeze of lemon cheek.
• Set aside. Gently add the fish to the pan while keeping it on a high heat. Smash a clove of garlic and lay it in the pan along with a sprig of thyme and butter. Cook 2 minutes, then flip. Baste fish with pan juices and cook 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining fish adding more oil, butter, garlic and thyme as necessary. Place coleslaw in the center of the plate and gently place the fish on top.

FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICHES WITH TANGY COLESLAW AND SPICY MAYO

Steps:

• For the tangy slaw: Whisk together the vinegar, sugar, celery salt and pepper in a small bowl until combined. Stir in the mayo until incorporated. Add the scallions and green and red cabbage and toss to coat. Set aside, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours in advance.
• For the spicy mayo: Whisk together the mayonnaise and hot sauce in a small bowl. Taste and add more hot sauce depending on how spicy you like it. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week.
• For the fried chicken: Mix the yogurt, 1 teaspoon of the paprika, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Add the chicken cutlets and coat evenly. Let the chicken sit in the marinade for about 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours refrigerated.
• Once the chicken has marinated, pour about 2 inches of oil in a deep 10-inch cast-iron skillet and place over medium-high until it registers 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Line a sheet pan with paper towels.
• While the oil heats, whisk together the flour, onion powder, remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper in a small shallow dish. Remove the cutlets from the yogurt, allowing any excess yogurt to drip off, and dredge the cutlets in the flour mixture.
• Carefully add the dredged chicken to the hot oil and fry until the chicken is deeply golden brown on both sides and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes, flipping the cutlet about halfway through the cooking time. Drain on the paper towels and immediately sprinkle the chicken with more salt to taste.
• Toast the burger buns until golden brown. Spread 1 tablespoon of the mayo over the top and bottom of each bun. Place a piece of fried chicken on each bottom bun, top that with slices of tomato and some slaw and cover with the top buns. Serve immediately.
