Рецепт Fish & Hush Puppy Skillet
With Lent just around the corner, I thought I would get a head start on some different fish dishes. I love a good fish and chips, or just breaded cod ,pan fried. Hit any Southern restaurant on a Friday night and you'll be sure to find fried catfish and hush puppies on the menu. All that frying is a bit messy, and not quite the healthy dinner. With this recipe, you can skip the grease and get the same crispy taste with just a few tablespoons of oil.
For the Hush Puppy:
- 2 cups self-rising cornmeal mix
- 1/4 cup sliced scallions
- 1/4 cup red or green bell pepper, diced
- 2 tsp. minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- Whisk:
- 3/4 cup beer
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- For the fish:
- 1 lb. fish fillets, cut into 2-inch pieces (I used cod)
- 1/2 cup fish-fry mix
- For the sauce:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp. dill pickle relish
- 1/2 tsp. prepared horseradish
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Combine cornmeal mix, scallions, red pepper, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk together beer, buttermilk and egg; stir into cornmeal mixture and set aside.
Heat 1/4 cup canola oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet until almost smoking.
Dredge each fish piece in fish-fry mix, then fry, on only one side, about 2 minutes.
Pour hush puppy batter over the fish in skillet.
Transfer skillet to oven and bake until hush puppy is golden and a toothpick comes out clean, about 15-20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes, then loosen edges with a knife. Invert onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve with ketchup tartar sauce.
