Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillet (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 50 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Dredge the fillets lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Set aside.
Step 4
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate gently using a double boiler or in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each interval.
Step 5
Once melted, stir in the unsalted butter and heavy cream until smooth and glossy.
Step 6
Using tongs or a fork, dip each cooked fish fillet into the chocolate mixture, ensuring it is coated evenly. Place the chocolate-covered fillets on a parchment-lined tray.
Step 7
Sprinkle each fillet with chopped pistachios and parsley for garnish, if desired, while the chocolate is still slightly warm and pliable.
Step 8
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or place the tray in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a daring appetizer or main course, paired with a fresh side salad or roasted vegetables.
