If you have butter and lemon in your kitchen  nothing else matters. Yes! You just need this two ingredients to prepare a yummy sauce to dress up your deep fried fish.

2 red snappers, cleaned & washed
3 tbsp corn flour
1 tsp black pepper powder

For The Sauce

Juice of l/2 lemon
3 heaped tbsp butter
1 tbsp lemon zest
Few sliced lemon

Methods

Heat oil in a wok.

Sprinkle corn flour on both sides of the fish making sure the flour lightly coated the fish.

Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper.

Deep fried the fish till golden & crispy. Remove from wok and place the fish into a plate lined with kitchen towel to drain excess oil.

Melt butter in a saucepan and let it simmer on low flame for 1-2 minutes. Switch off the flame.

Add lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir and cover with lid for the lemon flavor to infuse the butter for 10-15 minutes.

Pour the lemon sauce over the deep fried fish and serve immediately with lemon slices.

Alwix turn off the flams before adding lemon juice.

Be extra cautious while adding lemon juice to the melted butter as it tends to splash.
