Aji Fry

If you like horse mackerel fillets, you’ll love this Japanese dinner — 30 minutes from craving to table. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 34 grams of protein per serving. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Horse mackerel fillets
• 0.5 cup Flour
• 2 Eggs
• 1.5 cups Panko
• 2 cups Cabbage
• 0.25 cup Tartar sauce
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 Lemon

Steps

1. Score the skin side of each fillet lightly so they fry flat instead of curling. Pat very dry.
2. Bread in the classic order — flour, egg, panko — pressing the crumbs on firmly. Rest 5 minutes.
3. Fry at 350 degrees 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Drain upright on a rack.
4. Serve over shredded cabbage with tartar sauce and Worcestershire for drizzling.
5. The teishoku staple: humble horse mackerel, fried to aristocratic crispness.
