Treat your ingredients with care...
- Fish fillets — Ensure the fish fillets are fresh and of high quality to achieve the best flavor and texture.
- Mayonnaise — Opt for a good-quality mayonnaise or make your own for a richer and creamier remoulade sauce.
- Pickles — Use crunchy and tangy pickles to add a burst of flavor to the remoulade sauce.
- Fresh herbs — Chop the fresh parsley and dill just before adding them to the remoulade sauce to retain their vibrant flavors.
- Breadcrumbs — For extra crunch, you can use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
Tips & Tricks
- For a healthier version, you can bake the fish fillets instead of frying them. Simply place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 12-15 minutes until crispy.
- Experiment with different types of fish fillets to find your favorite flavor combination.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the crispy fish fillets before serving for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier remoulade sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
- Serve the fish fillets on a bed of fresh salad greens for a refreshing twist.
