I felt like a fish burger, and, no I didn't send the better half
off to Maccas (which is what we call McDonalds in the antipodes). We had
some snap frozen pre-crumbed fish fillets in the freezer. They were hoki
fillets with a lemon pepper crumb. I just looked hoki up on Wikipedia
so I could tell you what sort of fish it is, and what do you know, it is used
by McDonalds in their Filet o Fish in the States! You can only get it in
Australian and New Zealand waters. Other names for hoki include Blue
Grenadier and Blue Hake.
You can fry the frozen fillets but I prefer them baked in the
oven. I do them for a bit longer than it says on the packet – don't you
find they usually understate cooking times?
I popped a cabbage leaf square into each bap as a sort of shelf. I
prepared some thinly sliced radish, chilli and tomato.
I made a sauce with some leftover garlic butter, crème fraiche,
chopped capers, mayo, lemon juice, chilli jam and salt and pepper. Just
mixed it all up – no cooking.
When the fish was cooked I only had to do a quick assembly job – very
easy and better, in my opinion, than what we could have bought ready
made.
They look good...and the sauce is one I will hve to try...
