Servings : 5 to 6 portions

Prep. Time : 10 Mins. + 30 Mins. (marination)

Cooking Time : 15 Mins. (active)

Ingredients:

• Sea Bass Fillet – 400 gms.
• Ginger-Garlic Paste – 1 tbsp.
• Black Pepper (fresh and coarsely ground) – 1 tbsp.
• Juice of Two Limes
• Semolina [rava] – as needed
• Oil – 4 to 6 tbsp.
• Sea Salt – ¾ tbsp.

Step 1:     Mix all ingredients except the fillet and the semolina and make a paste for the marinade.

Step 2:     Cut the fillet to required portions and rub the marinade over it covering it fully on all sides. Keep aside for 30 minutes.

Step 4:     Roll the fish in semolina and keep aside for 5 minutes.

Step 5:     Heat oil on a flat pan and fry the fish on medium heat for no more than 2 to 3 minutes, each side.

Serve Hot. The coating will be crisp and the fish will be succulent.

Tips:

• If using a pan without a non-stick coating, remember to heat the pan before putting the oil on it.
• The oil should be hot but not smoking hot. Add a few grains of semolina in the oil to check if the temperature is right. The rava should not char.
• The time taken to fry the slices will depend on the thickness of the fillet. My fillet was about 1.5 to 2 cm. thick. Fry only 2 to 3 pieces at a time.
• You can substitute the sea bass fillets with red / white snapper or Indian Salmon.
