Golden fried rockfish with a cabbage slaw and remoulade

Ingredients

1 purple cabbage, thinly sliced
1 carrot, peeled and sliced thin
2 scallions, cut on the bias + 1 minced
1 lb rockfish, skin, and bones removed
½ cup flour + 3 tbsp
½ cup cornstarch
1 cup beer
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup mayonnaise
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp syrup
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ lemon, juiced
1 tsp tabasco sauce
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 qt canola oil for frying

Directions

1

Heat the canola oil to 300 degrees.

2

For the remoulade, grab a small bowl and combine the mayonnaise, one clove of minced garlic, lemon, tabasco, Worcestershire, minced green onion, 1 tsp dijon, and a pinch of both salt and black pepper.

3

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining Dijon, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, syrup, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and toss the cabbage, sliced scallions, and carrots in the same bowl.

4

When the canola oil has reached 300 degrees, take your rockfish, and season each side with salt and pepper, and then dredge in the 3 tbsp flour and set aside.

5

In another bowl, mix the remaining flour with the cornstarch and the beer, and mix well.

6

Gently place the rockfish in the batter so that the whole fish is covered, and then gently place in the hot oil and let fry for 5 minutes. Remove from the oil, let dry on a rack or paper towel, and sprinkle with a bit of salt.

7

When you are ready to plate, place a small amount of the remoulade sauce on the bottom of the plate, followed by the cabbage slaw, and top with the crispy fish. Enjoy!
