Crumbed Whiting with Citrus Salad

Ingredients

Method

Mayonnaise:

  1. Combine 300ml grapeseed or sunflower oil with 300ml olive oil in a jug.
  2. Whisk 4 egg yolks and 3 tsp Dijon mustard in a food processor. 
  3. With the motor running, slowly add oil, drop by drop at first, until the mixture starts to thicken, then pour in a steady stream until thick and emulsified. 
  4. Add 1 tbs water and the juice of ½ lemon, then season with sea salt and ground white pepper. Makes 2 cups.

Fish & Salad:

  1. Place flour, egg and breadcrumbs in three separate bowls. Dust fish first in flour, then dip in egg, then coat in crumbs. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate until needed.
  2. To make dressing, combine lemon juice, vinegar, mustard and thyme in a bowl, then gradually whisk in olive oil. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside. 
  3. Place orange, fennel, frisee and olives in a bowl and toss to combine. Set aside.
  4. Place mayonnaise in a small bowl and loosen to a drizzling consistency with a little warm water. Set aside.
  5. Half-fill a deep-fryer or large saucepan with sunflower oil and heat to 190°C (a cube of bread will turn golden in 30 seconds when the oil is hot enough). Working in batches, gently lower fish into oil and deep-fry for 2-3 minutes until golden.
  6. Add dressing to salad mixture and toss to combine. Serve immediately with fish and mayonnaise for drizzling. Serves 4.
