Delicious recipe for fried fish with baked potatoes - A rustic and savory combination Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 15 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Number of servings: 4 In this recipe, I will guide you step by step to achieve a perfect result: crispy fried fish served alongside baked potatoes with aromatic butter. It is a simple yet exceptionally tasty dish that will impress any lover of traditional food. The preparation begins with the potatoes, which take longer, followed by the fish. Ingredients: For fried fish: - 3 mackerel (or alternatively, two herring) - 200 g cornmeal - Salt, to taste - Oil for frying For baked potatoes: - 7 medium potatoes - 4 tablespoons of butter - A few green onion tops - A few sprigs of fresh parsley - 1 garlic clove - Salt and pepper, to taste Preparation of baked potatoes: 1. Boiling the potatoes: Start by placing the whole potatoes in a large pot of salted cold water. Boil for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are slightly soft but not fully cooked. This will help achieve less crumbly baked potatoes. 2. Cooling and peeling: After boiling, remove the potatoes from the water and let them cool slightly. Then, carefully peel them. 3. Preparing the tray: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a tray with butter (about 2 tablespoons) to prevent the potatoes from sticking. 4. Arranging the potatoes: Cut the potatoes into quarters or thick slices and place them in the prepared tray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. 5. Adding flavors: Chop the green onion, parsley, and garlic slices and sprinkle them evenly over the potatoes. Add the remaining butter cut into cubes on top. 6. Baking: Place the tray in the oven and let it bake for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes turn golden and crispy. Preparation of the fish: 1. Preparing the fish: Wash the mackerel well under cold running water. Remove all the black strands from inside the fish for a better taste. 2. Cutting and seasoning: Cut the fish into thick slices, about 2-3 cm. Sprinkle salt evenly on each slice to season them. 3. Dredging in cornmeal: Dredge each slice of fish in cornmeal, ensuring it is evenly coated. This will create a crispy crust during frying. 4. Frying the fish: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the fish slices and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Remove them to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serving: Serve the fried fish hot alongside the baked potatoes with butter, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. A serving of polenta and a garlic sauce will perfectly complement this dish. Suggestions and variations: - You can add other spices to the cornmeal, such as paprika or herbs, for extra flavor. - Experiment with different types of fish, such as sea bream or perch, to vary the recipe. - If you like vegetables, you can add carrots or zucchini to the tray with potatoes for added color and nutrients. This main dish is perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion. Enjoy your meal!
