For Sarsa Criolla

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Yuca

    Peel the yuca and cut it into chunks. Boil in salted water for about 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fish

    In a bowl, combine the fish fillets with lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Coat the Fish

    Dredge the marinated fish fillets in all-purpose flour, ensuring they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coated fish pieces in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sarsa Criolla

    In a bowl, mix together the sliced onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Let sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried fish hot with boiled yuca and top with the sarsa criolla.
