BABY TATOES
Place the halved baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain, season, and cover.
TARTAR & BATTER
In a small bowl, combine the mayo, ½ the chopped dill, the diced gherkin, seasoning, and a splash of water. Set aside. In a bowl, whisk 1 egg with a splash of water. In a separate bowl, combine the flour with seasoning.
FRIED ONIONS
Place a pot or pan over medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. Coat the onion slices in the egg mixture, then toss in the bowl of seasoned flour. When the oil is hot, carefully lower the floured onion slices into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting halfway). You may need to do this step in batches. Drain on paper towel.
YUMMY YELLOWTAIL
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the yellowtail dry with paper towel and season. When hot, fry the yellowtail, skin side down, until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip and fry until cooked through, 2-3 minutes. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter (optional).
CLASSIC SIDE
In a salad bowl, combine the boiled baby potatoes, the green leaves, the cucumber half-moons, the remaining dill, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
ALL DONE!
Plate up the seared yellowtail and dollop over ½ the tartar sauce. Side with the crispy onions and the baby potato & cucumber salad. Serve with the remaining sauce for dunking. Cheers, Chef!
