Ingredients

  • 600 g two whitefish fillets, about 300g each scaled, of course
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon sugar
  • 0.5 tsp white pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon dry dill
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon cooking oil

Instructions

  • Rinse the whitefish fillets and place on kitchen paper to dry. Grind the spices in a mortar to a very fine mixture. If you do not have a mortar, mix the spices in a cup.
  • Season the whitefish fillets all over and cut in half – so now you have four pieces to fry. You can also make narrower strips.
  • Take a thick-bottomed pan. A good quality coated pan is easiest for the fish.
  • Heat the pan to a high heat and add a little butter and oil. Smooth the oil with kitchen paper. Do not over butter the pan. You want to fry the whitefish, not boil it.
  • Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down. Fry for a couple of minutes, you can check occasionally that the skin is nice and brown and crispy.
  • Turn the fillet skin side up, fry for another 30 seconds and then quickly move to plate.
  • Lift the fried whitefish skin side up onto the dish. Serve immediately while the skin is still crispy.
