👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1

  2. 2
    Heat the olive oil in a heavy pan over high heat.

    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  3. 3
    Lay the fish in the pan in a single layer and fry 3–4 minutes.
