Pan-Fried Whole Smelt with Warm Dill Sauce
Ingredients
2 lbs Great Lakes Food Whole Smelt, thawed 907 g
1-1/2 cups dried bread crumbs 375 mL
2 tsps salt 10 mL
1/2 tsp pepper 2 mL
1/2 cup cooking oil 125 mL
4 eggs
Lime wedges, dill for garnish
Breading Smelt
On waxed paper, combine bread crumbs, salt and pepper. In a pie plate, beat eggs with 1/4 cup water. Dip smelt in egg, one at a time, then bread crumbs. Repeat and dip again if you prefer a slightly heavier coating. Place smelt on a separate sheet of waxed paper.
Pan-Frying
Pre-heat a large skillet on medium-high. Heat cooking oil until hot. Carefully place smelt in pan. Cook a few at a time, about 3-4 minutes per side, until smelt flakes easily with a fork. Drain on paper towel. Arrange smelt on a platter with lime wedges and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle warm dill sauce over smelt. Garnish with dill. Makes 6 servings.
Dill Sauce
About 20 minutes before cooking smelt, mix ingredients together. Warm over medium heat stirring occasionally. Keep warm until serving.
