Paardenkloof’s Crispy Yellowtail

Let’s switch up our fruit & fish pairing options, Chef! Instead of the classic lemon, this Caribbean-inspired dish uses pineapple for a citrus salsa with a chilli kick. This beautifully balances the pan-fried yellowtail fish, with a crispy skin and basted in a parsley, garlic & lemon oil. A satisfying serving of golden roasted butternut & onion wedges complete the meal.

  1. BEGIN WITH BUTTERNUT

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut pieces & the onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and the jerk seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. LET’S SALSA

    To a bowl, add the diced pineapple, the diced onion (to taste), the chopped coriander, the chopped chilli (to taste), and ½ the lemon juice (to taste). Toss to combine, season, and set aside in the fridge.

  3. ZESTY OIL

    In a small bowl, combine the remaining lemon juice, the grated garlic, ½ the chopped parsley, and a drizzle of oil. Set aside.

  4. CRISPY FISH

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. In a shallow dish, season the flour. Pat the yellowtail dry with paper towel and coat in the seasoned flour. When hot, fry the fish until golden, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the garlic & parsley mixture. Remove from the pan, reserving the herby garlic butter, and season.

  5. A TASTE OF THE CARIBBEAN

    Serve the roasted butternut & onion alongside the crispy yellowtail. Drizzle the reserved herby butter over the fish and serve the pineapple & fresh chilli relish on the side. Garnish with the remaining parsley.
