Pan-fried Leather Jacket! (Turn this dish into Fish & Chips too!)

Firstly, extremely sorry for the lack of posts! It's been a couple busy months! But I'm back and I've got quite a few beauties up my sleeve to share with you all!

Secondly, when I say leather jacket, I mean the fish! It's got a beautiful texture and the meat is just de-lish! Keep scrolling for the recipe!


Ingredients:
- Leather jacket fish (skinned and cleaned of course, your local fish monger should be able to do that)
- Olive oil
- 2 Cloves of garlic
- 3 lime leaves
- 1 small chilli (optional, but provides a nice kick to the dish!)
- Pinch of salt
- Wedge of lemon as a garnish

Method:
1. Add a generous swish of oil and the crushed cloves of garlic to your pan and when the pan becomes hot (not too hot that it would burn the fish straight away), add the fish. Be careful not to burn your garlic!
2. Add the lime leaves and turn the fish over. Add a pinch of salt. Look for a nice crisped outer layer and for the fish to be cooked through (cooked fish will be white coloured, raw would be slightly transparent).
3. When cooked, serve straight away with a wedge of lemon.

There you have it! And if you want to turn this dish into a 'Fish & Chips' meal, click on this link (http://foodforlooks.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/diy-hot-chips.html) for a recipe on how to make homemade hot chips!

Perfect for lunch, dinner, and best served with a mojito too, adults only though!! (http://foodforlooks.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/fresh-funky-mojito.html)
