Marinated Fried Fish Recipes

MARINATED FRIED FISH

Steps:

• Place flounder fillets in a small glass dish. Mix lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl; pour over flounder fillets. Cover dish with plastic wrap and marinate flounder in refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Mix flour, dill weed, and cayenne pepper together on a piece of waxed paper.
• Beat egg and water together in a wide bowl.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Gently press the flounder fillets into the flour mixture to coat; shake to remove excess flour. Dip into the beaten egg to coat and immediately return to the flour mixture to coat.
• Fry flounder in hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes per side.

FRIED FISH MARINATED IN GARLIC, VINEGAR, OREGANO, AND CUMIN

Steps:

• Whisk vinegar, garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, and bay leaves in medium bowl to blend. Add fish and toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour or cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours.
• Heat enough oil to come 1/2 inch up sides of pan in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Place flour in large bowl. Remove fish from marinade. Toss fish in flour, then shake off excess. Working in batches, fry fish until cooked through and brown all over, turning occasionally with tongs, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer to platter. Serve warm or at room temperature with lemon wedges.
