Ingredients

Fish:

  • 12 ounces thick white fish filets 2 halibut or sea bass filets, 6 ounces each
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon glucomann powder
  • 1/2 cup pork panko
  • 1 tablespoon butter avocado oil for dairy-free

Tartar sauce:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or aioli
  • 1/8 cup minced dill pickles
  • 2 teaspoons shallot minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon capers minced
  • 1 tablespoon parsley minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or pickle juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare tartar sauce by stirring together all the sauce ingredients, set aside to let the flavors mingle while you prepare the fish.
  • Preheat the oven to 300ºF.
  • Dry fish well on paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle one side (only one side!) with the glucomann powder. Then dip the glucomann covered side in egg and finally, dip it in the pork panko, pressing to ensure that a thick layer sticks.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add avocado oil, and when shimmering, add the coated fish, pork panko side down and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Flip the fish over and transfer the whole pan into the oven and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily. Serve fish with tartar sauce.
