Pan-Fried Fish with Bell Peppers

I found this recipe from a cookbook I bought a few years ago. This is a wonderful tasting dish that is easy to cook and makes a great meal especially when serve with rice.

Prep and cook time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

1 walnut sized piece of fresh ginger

3 garlic cloves
2 red chilies*

1 green or red bell pepper

1 yellow bell pepper

6 scallions (spring onions)

4 sea bass*, (cleaned, scaled and heads removed)

Salt and pepper, to taste

3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil, divided

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

Lemon wedges, to garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Peel and cut the ginger into matchsticks. Crush the garlic. Finely slice the chilies, peppers, discarding the core and seeds. Cut the scallions (spring onions) into thin strips.

2.Using a sharp knife, slash the fish skin 2-3 times and season with salt and pepper.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy-based skillet (frying pan). Add the fish and fry for 5 minutes or until the skin is very crisp and golden. Turn over, cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.

4. Heat the remaining oil in another pan, add the ginger, chilies and peppers and fry for 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove from the heat and toss in the scallions.

5. Splash the fish with a little soy sauce and serve topped with the pepper mixture, garnished with lemon wedges.

Enjoy!

Notes: 
*I used 3 big gray mullet fish
*I omitted the use of red chilies (for my kids' sake)
