Pan-Fried Fish (with a side-dish)

Here is a fish recipe that you can prepare in 20 minutes. Very fast, very delicious. Method is below, if you want everything to cook at the same time, start with potatoes, then the fish.



Ingredients (4 servings):
- 4 pieces of fillet of fish (with skin, no bones)
- 1 kg potatoes (a thin skin variety will be perfect)
- 200g of peas (frozen or canned)
- 2 onions
- 2 lemons
- dills
- parsley
- pickled capers
- 3 or 4 pickled gherkins
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- butter, olive oil, sunflower oil
- salt & pepper

Method:

1. The Fish:
In a big pan, pour some sunflower oil, heat up. On the skin of the fish, smear some butter, add salt & pepper. Put the skin side on the pan first. Let fry for around 15 mins. Season the other side as well with salt & pepper. Flip carefully and cook the other side for about 5 minutes on lower heat. That simple.

2. The Side-Dish:
Wash the potatoes, cut bigger ones in half. Put in boiling water and let cook for about 17-18 minutes. In a separate pot, melt a big slice of butter. Cut 4-5 very thin slices of lemon. Dice the onions and add lemons and onions to the butter. Mix until onions turn golden. Then add the peas and turn off the heat (we don't want to overcook the peas, just heat them). When potatoes are cooked, mix these two pots, add some dills and parsley, salt & pepper, butter and olive oil to taste. Smash all together, but do not smash too much, we want some greens to be visible.

3. The Sauce:
Real simple. Put capers, gherkins and some dills together and dice them, put them in a bowl. Add the cream, some olive oil, juice of half a lemon and some salt. Mix well.

4. Serving:
Put about 2 spoons of the side dish on the plate. Place the fish on top, with the (now crusty) skin facing up. Put some sauce on the top. Decorate with some dills.

Enjoy ;)
