Australian Table
Ingredients
Method
1.Place blue-eye in a shallow bowl. Combine lemon rind, juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, chopped basil, parsley and chilli; pour over fish and turn to coat.
2.Cook spaghetti in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water according to packet directions; drain.
3.Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan on medium, until a cube of bread sizzles on contact. Drop in extra basil leaves; fry 5 seconds, until crisp. Drain on paper towel.
4.Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan on medium. Remove fish from marinade, reserving marinade. Cook 2 minutes each side, until golden. Remove from pan.
5.Add marinade and capers to same pan; cook on high 1 minute. Add to warm spaghetti with remaining olive oil and season to taste; toss to combine.
6.Divide spaghetti between serving plates; top with a piece of blue-eye. Scatter with fried basil to serve.
Basil has a high water content, so the oil will spit when the leaves are added – take care not to burn yourself.
