Pan-Fried Fish with Sweet & Sour Sauce

Pan-Fried Fish with Sweet & Sour Sauce

This makes a refreshing change from the usual fish dishes.

The sauce can be made several hours ahead of time.  This recipe works well with most kinds of fish, but I have found the firmer varieties are best.  Fish like place, dabs, sole, etc. tend to break up when trying to prepare several portions at once.

Ingredients

  • 225 g can sweetened pineapple pieces
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 medium onion coarsely chopped
  • 1 small red pepper chopped
  • 1 small green pepper chopped
  • 1 stick celery chopped
  • 2 tsp cornflour
  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 4 medium white fish fillets any firm white fish, not things like place, etc.
  • Plain flour
  • 30 g butte

DISCLAIMER

I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.

Instructions

  • Drain the pineapple and reserve 3 tbsp of the syrup
  • Heat the oil in a medium frying pan and add the garlic, ginger and onion, stir-fry over medium heat for about 2 minutes or until the onion is just soft but not brown.
  • Now add the peppers, celery and pineapple pieces, stir-fry for a further minute.
  • Bled the cornflour with the reserved syrup and add this together with the sauces and vinegar stirring constantly until the sauce boils and thickens. Set aside (see my tips below)
  • Heat the butter in a large frying pan. Toss the fish into the flour, shake off any excess and lay fish in the pan in a single layer.
  • Cook on both sides for about 3 minutes or until tender.
  • Serve the fish with the hot sweet and sour sauce.
Paul's Tips
I used Hake in this recipe. The sauce can be prepared several hours ahead: Keep covered in the fridge. Cook the fish just before serving.
NOTE; This dish is NOT suitable for freezing or microwave.
