Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds white fish fillets (such as sea bass, orange roughy or red snapper), each about 1 inch thick
Coarse salt
3 large eggs, beaten to blend
1 cup unsalted matzo meal
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 cup (or more) vegetable oil
Lemon wedges
Fresh cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Sprinkle fish fillets generously on all sides with coarse salt; let stand 30 minutes. Rinse fish to remove salt and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place eggs and matzo meal in separate large shallow bowls. Mix chili powder, cumin, black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt in small bowl to blend. Sprinkle fish generously with chili powder mixture. Dip fish into eggs, then into matzo meal, coating completely. Transfer fish to waxed paper.
  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry fish in single layer until just opaque in center and golden brown, adding more oil if necessary, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer fish to paper towels and drain.
  • Arrange fish on platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and cilantro sprigs.

I didn't have any chili powder, so I used paprika instead. It turned out great!

The fish was a bit overcooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

The chili cumin flavor is a bit too strong for me. I would recommend using less chili powder and cumin.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but it's still really good. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
