Chopped Sage Leaves - 2 tablespoons
Butter - 5 oz
Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a deep skillet to 180–375°F (you can check the temperature by using a cube of yesterday's bread: at this temperature, it should brown within 30 seconds).

Step 2

Lightly season the fillets with salt on both sides and coat them in flour, shaking off the excess. Fry the fillets in the hot oil two at a time until golden brown. Once the fish pieces are removed from the oil, let them drain excess fat and keep the cooked fillets warm while preparing the rest.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked fish to a warmed serving dish, sprinkle with parsley, and garnish with half a lemon cut into wedges.

Step 4

Melt the butter in a saucepan without letting it darken. Skim off the foam with a spoon. Stir in the lemon juice and drizzle this sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.
