Sesame Crusted Fish image

This is a terrific and simple fish dish. I've made it for many years. This is best with a flaky fish such as cod or snapper but tilapia will work, too. A Jeff Smith/Frugal Gourmet recipe.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs white fish fillets, cut into nuggets
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 cup flour, for dredging
2 egg whites, beaten
4 tablespoons white sesame seeds (not toasted... raw)
4 tablespoons black sesame seeds (not toasted... raw)
oil, for deep frying

Steps:

  • Marinate fish in the soy and sesame oil for 15 minutes.
  • Drain and dust the fish in flour.
  • Dip into the egg and then roll in the sesame seeds.
  • Deep fry the pieces in 360 degree oil for 4 or 5 minutes. No longer -- the sesame seeds scorch easily and will be bitter.
  • Make a simple dipping sauce with some soy sauce diluted with about a 50/50 ratio of water and some fresh grated ginger. Delicious!
  • You may need to cook this in two batches so that the temperature of the oil doesn't plummet. The oil needs to maintain a constant 360 temperature if possible.
