If you have a whole fish, the filleting process may seem intimidating, but with a little patience and precision, you will achieve delicious fillets perfectly prepared for cooking. We start with preparing the fish, which must be fresh. So, cut off the head and fins, then carefully clean the inside of the fish, ensuring that no remnants are left. Use a very sharp knife to cut along the back, with gentle movements. Be careful not to cut too deep, so as not to affect the bones. Once you have filleted gently, you will be able to detach the fillet with the help of tweezers, which will assist in removing any remaining bones. It is essential to repeat this process on the other side of the fish, so you obtain two perfect fillets.
Once you have the fillets ready, cut them into suitable pieces for serving, so that each portion is easy to serve. Season the fillets on both sides with salt and Vegeta, being careful to adjust according to your personal taste. It is important not to overdo it with the salt, as it can overpower the delicate flavor of the fish.
While preparing the fillets, prepare three separate bowls. In the first bowl, beat the eggs well until they become homogeneous. In the second, place the flour, and in the third, sesame seeds. These ingredients will form a wonderful coating for your fish. The breading process is simple: pass each piece of fish through the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then, dip it in the beaten egg, which will help the crust adhere, and finally, cover it with sesame seeds, which will add a delicious flavor and a crispy texture.
Heat the oil in a deep pan and make sure it is well heated before adding the fish fillets. Fry them until they become golden and crispy on both sides, being careful not to overcrowd the pan to allow for even frying. Once they are ready, remove the fillets and place them on a plate lined with a napkin to absorb the excess oil. This dish can be served warm, alongside a fresh side of salad or sautéed vegetables, for a delicious and healthy lunch or dinner. Enjoy every bite of this flavorful recipe!
