About this Battered Fish with Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce recipe

Pan-fried (to avoid all those unhealthy oils), topped with a spicy peanut sauce and some crispy potato wedges on the side, this will become your new traditional.
Ingredients
For the fish:
- 2 fish fillets of choice
- ½ cup brown rice flour
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the fries:
- 1 medium potato
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper
For the sauce:
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp thai red curry paste
- ¼ cup canned coconut milk
- 2 tbsp coconut water
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees C / 400 F. Slice the potato into wedges (any size you prepare) and lay them out on a baking tray.
- Next, drizzle the olive oil on top and season with salt and pepper. Place the wedges in the oven and set to bake for 45 minutes or until golden.
- While the wedges bake, prepare the sauce by combining and stirring peanut butter, curry paste, coconut milk, and coconut water in a bowl then season with a pinch of salt.
- Start preparing the fish. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Whisk the egg in a small, shallow bowl. Then, coat each fish fillet with the egg and flour before placing them into the hot oil.
- Cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the fish is white and flaky.
- Remove from the pan with a spatula and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Serve with the wedges, a side of salad, and lemon then top with a drizzle of peanut sauce.
