  • 20g shallots, brunoise-cut
  • 20g baby capers, washed & finely chopped
  • 40g cornichons, brunoise-cut
  • ¼ bunch dill leaves, finely chopped
  • Zest of ½ lemon

 

Fish:

  • 50g corn flour

  • 200g plain flour
  • 100g plain flour (separate)
  • 15g Trisol
  • 450mL soda water
  • 6 whiting/snapper fillets
  • Mount Zero Pink Lake Salt

 

Method


Tartare Sauce:

  • Add the mayonnaise, capers, cornichons, shallots and dill to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Use a fine grater to zest the lemon and add to the sauce, mixing well.
  • Add fine salt to taste, if needed.
  • Store for up to 7 days.

Fish:

  • Coat fish fillets in the 100g separate plain flour. Discard this flour after the fillets are floured.
  • Mix all remaining dry batter ingredients.
  • Add soda water and stir to combine – be very careful not to overmix.
  • Dip floured fillets into soda batter one by one, to cover.
  • Add one at a time to a 180°C deep-fryer, taking care to not let the batter stick to the basket.
  • Once cooked, sprinkle with Mt Zero Pink Lake Salt.
