Tilefish steak in a pan
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Snakehead meat is juicy and very tender, so it needs to be cooked properly. The best way to cook this fish is frying, as it won't fall apart or become jelly-like. This recipe for pan-fried snakehead steaks is quite simple. The most important thing is to coat the steaks well in breadcrumbs and flour, then quickly sear them over fairly high heat until a crust forms. If your snakehead steaks are thicker than 2 cm, after the crust has formed, reduce the heat and continue cooking the fish over low heat for another 2–3 minutes on each side. Never fry snakehead covered with a lid. Serve hot.
