The Midas touch comes to this dish courtesy of the simplest of ingredients: flour. By coating your fish in flour before frying it you’ll get a nice crispy golden finish around the outside and a moist, flakey centre. The trick to perfect fish is to have a nice hot pan and then leave it be. It’s tempting to have a good old prod with a spatula, but by leaving the fish to cook thoroughly on one side before you turn it, you’ll get a nice caramelised finish without tearing it. If you want to be super naughty you can always add a knob of butter to the fish pan for the last minute. Mum’s the word.
