I've never had Lieu Noir anywhere else but France. The translator calls it coal fish because it's flesh is a little bit grey. That's not why I bought it. It called me by my first name at the supermarket. I did not hesitate. I picked it up and said to it: You are coming home with me.
I wanted crusty fish, but not just any boring breaded fish, and so this magic was born.
Serves 2
Ingredients:
2 filets of fish, skinned
3 Tbsp EVOO
Crust:
1 handful almonds
1 large clove garlic
2 Tbsp dry coconut
2 Tbsp grated parmesan
1 tsp chili powder
2 Tbsp breadcrumbs
salt/pepper
Directions:
1. Crush all the crust ingredients in a mortar and pestle. It should be a little sticky because of the parmesan and garlic.
2. Press the crust onto the fish. It should stick. If you feel more comfortable using egg yolk as glue, it's probably a good idea, but I just didn't think of it in time.
3. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook crust side down for approximately 1 minute, then carefully flip and do the same.
Serve with the things that make your heart skip. Today, mine was steamed broccoli and cauliflower and a squeeze of lemon.
Lots of flavor!
Madame is satisfied.
