Ingredients
- 2 fillets barramundi
- Sea salt and black pepper, to season
- 75 g (½ cup) plain flour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 110 g (1 cup) fine breadcrumbs
- 500 ml (2 cups) ghee
- lemon wedges, to serve
Cucumber salad
- 3 short cucumbers, finely sliced
- pinch of salt
- 125 g (½ cup) sour cream
- 2 tbsp finely shredded dill
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- pinch of sugar
Instructions
- For the cucumber salad, using a mandolin or large sharp knife, thinly slice the cucumbers. Place in a bowl with a pinch of salt and lightly massage into the cucumbers. Set aside for 15 minutes. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the cucumbers and combine with the remaining ingredients.
- Meanwhile, season the barramundi with salt and pepper. Place the flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Lightly dust the fish in flour, then dip in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the ghee. Heat the ghee to 180˚C. Fry the barramundi for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack, then season with a little sea salt and serve with the cucumber salad and lemon wedges.
