Fried Fish with Cornmeal and Garlic Cream Sauce

Ingredients
    For the Fish:
  • Frozen or fresh fish (as desired)
  • Cornmeal (about 1.5 cups, or more depending on your preference)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Oil (for frying)
    • For the Garlic Sauce:
  • 3 cloves garlic (grated)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • 1 tsp oil
  • Thick cream (amount as desired)
  • Fresh dill (for garnish)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Prepare the Cornmeal Coating:
      • On a large plate, place 1.5 cups cornmeal (more if needed).
      • Add salt and mix well to season the cornmeal.
  2. 2
    Prepare the Fish:
      • If using frozen fish, let it defrost for 2-3 minutes or soak it briefly in water. This helps the cornmeal adhere better.
      • Coat the fish in the seasoned cornmeal.
  3. 3
    Fry the Fish:
      • Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat.
      • Fry the coated fish until golden and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
      • Once fried, place the fish on a dry napkin to remove excess oil.
  4. 4
    Prepare the Garlic Sauce:
      • Grate 3 cloves of garlic and place them in a bowl.
      • Add salt, 1 teaspoon oil, and mix well.
      • Stir in the thick cream to create a creamy garlic sauce.
      • Add fresh dill for flavor and garnish.
  5. 5
    Serve:
      • Serve the fried fish with the garlic cream sauce on the side.
      • Enjoy with mamaliga (polenta) or as a standalone dish.
    Tip: For added flavor, you can also sprinkle some fresh dill over the fish before serving.
