Hake goujons with sriracha mayonnaise

Serves: 2 – 4
Cooking Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

  • GOUJONS

  • 400g hake fillet
  • 50g cake flour seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 100g panko breadcrumbs
  • sunflower oil, to deep-fry
  • MAYONNAISE

  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) sriracha hot sauce
  • 125ml (½ cup) sunflower oil
  • 125ml (½ cup) olive oil
  • juice of 1 small lime
  • salt, to taste

Instructions

1

Remove the skin from the hake fillet and slice the fish into 1cm-thick strips. Dust in the seasoned flour, then dip into the 2 beaten eggs and finally coat in panko breadcrumbs. Set aside until needed.

2

In a deep-fat fryer or deep pot, heat the sunflower oil to 180˚C (if using a deep pot, use a sugar thermometer to check the temperature). Fry the goujons in small batches, 2 minutes, and turn over and fry, a further 2 minutes. Remove and set aside to drain on paper towel.

3

To make the mayonnaise, add the egg yolk and sriracha to a jug and blitz with a stick blender. Gradually add the oils while blitzing continuously, until all of the oil is incorporated and you have a light and fluffy mayonnaise. Season with lime juice and salt, to taste.

4

Serve the goujons hot with the sriracha mayonnaise on the side.
