My Time at Portia Cooking with Henry Episode 8 - Bacon Fish Roll

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon is lower in fat while pork belly offers a similar flavor profile.

fish fillets

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned fish

Tofu is a plant-based alternative, while canned fish is often less expensive.

Prepare the fish fillets by cleaning and patting them dry.

Season the fish with lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Wrap each fish fillet with a slice of bacon, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs in separate bowls.

Dredge each bacon-wrapped fish roll in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

Carefully place the breaded fish rolls in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary.

Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove the rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with a side of dipping sauce or lemon wedges.
