OATS COATED/ CRUSTED FISH RECIPE
The two main ingredients + the most pleasant sizzling sound in the kitchen when a fish fillet is added to a pan into the hot oil. The two main ingredients are the fish and the oats and the outcome is surely awesome. Trust me, you would love these oats coated pan-fried fish as I do. I serve this fish with caramelized pineapple slices, CORIANDER-GREEN ONION CHUTNEY and ORANGE CHUTNEY which take the flavours of this dish to another level. I make various dips and chutneys with the meats but no other condiment tastes better than this citrus relish

You start drooling with the very first step of marinating fish and then coating it with seasoned oats and finally the pan-frying. You can deep fry the fish, this makes it tastier but a little unhealthy on the other hand. I love to pan-fry the fish because it does not take much time to cook. Sooo fresh, soft and flaky that each bite of it is worth enjoying!

5- Add fillets to the hot oil and cook at low flame till they turn golden both sides. Apply butter at this stage.
- Butter adds the flavour as well as helps to get a golden colour
