USWM Shopping List:
Breading:
- 3 Eggs

- 2 Tbsp Jalapeno Flakes or 2 jalapeños
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
Sauce:
- 1/2 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 1/2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Garlic, minced

Toppings:
- Daiya Dairy Free Mozzarella Style Shreds (you can use shredded Parmesan as well)
- Green Onion (Scallion), chopped
- Tomato, chopped
- Chili Lime Piña Picante (Crispy Green) (optional)
Instructions:
- Create jalapeño flakes by placing two halves and seeded jalapeños in the oven at 200 for 1 hour. Remove and finely chop.
- Separate fish loins and flanks for even cooking.
- Beat eggs in a shallow dish.
- Add breadcrumbs and jalapeño flakes to the dish.
- Alternate disposing of each fish first in egg wash and then breadcrumbs (make sure it’s covered completely).
- Place in refrigerator to set before frying.
Sauce:
- Place oil, garlic, and onion in a pan and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with 2 tbsp water.
- Add lime zest and yogurt.
- Cook for 1 minute and add salt.
- Remove from heat and place in a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Fry fish on medium-high heat using olive or avocado oil. Loins are 5 minutes per side, and flanks are 3 minutes per side (or until golden brown on both sides).
