| 1 heaped tbs mixed peppercorns | 2 tsp coarse-grain mustard | |
| 1 heaped tbs plain flour, seasoned with a little salt | grated rind and juice of 2 limes | |
| 2 fresh or frozen white fish fillets, each weighing approx. 7 oz | 4 tbs olive oil | |
| 1 tbs olive oil | salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
| For the vinaigrette: | fresh coriander, chopped | |
| 1 clove garlic, crushed |
This delicious recipe was presented in a leaflet by a British supermarket to their customers.
Coarsely crush the peppercorns and mix them together with the seasoned flour. Skin the fish fillets, wipe with kitchen paper, and coat them with the peppercorn mixture, pressing it well onto both sides. Set aside. Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette. Combine in a bowl the garlic, mustard, lime rind and juice, 4 tablespoons of oil, salt, pepper, and coriander.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan. When hot, add the fish and fry for 3 minutes on each side, until crisp and golden. Keeping the heat high, pour the vinaigrette around the fish, and maintain heat for a couple of minutes to reduce the liquid.
