Salt and pepper fish is a quick and simple dish that features crispy fish with a rich savory seasoning. You can either serve it as an appetizer or a main dish over rice. {Gluten-Free}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve shared Salt and Pepper Chicken<\/a> and Salt and Pepper Pork Chops<\/a> in the past. Today I want to share one of my favorite ways to enjoy white fish filets – salt and pepper fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slightly different from my previous recipes, this one only uses a thin coating. Without using a lot of oil or deep-frying, you will get perfectly cooked fish pieces that are tender on the inside and crispy crunchy on the outside. The crispy fish slices are further tossed together with aromatics and dried chili peppers for a rich taste that\u2019s super appetizing, much like my Chinese steamed fish<\/a> recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prevent the fish from falling apart during cooking, try to slice it into short pieces. What I like to do is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
