Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter; 2 garlic cloves, grated; 1/2 cup diced fennel; 1/2 cup diced celery; 1 pound lionfish fillets, bones removed and diced (skin on or off); 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper; 1/2 cup half-and-half; 1 large egg; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro; 3 green onions, chopped (about 1/2 cup); 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 1 quart peanut oil

Servings: persons

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, grated
1/2 cup diced fennel
1/2 cup diced celery
1 pound lionfish fillets, bones removed and diced (skin on or off)
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 green onions, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 quart peanut oil

1
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add garlic, fennel, and celery. Saute 5 minutes. Add fish and red pepper, turn off heat, and leave pan on burner 3 minutes. (Fish will cook with residual heat.) Let cool.
2
Whisk together half-and-half and egg in a medium bowl; add flour and whisk until smooth. Gently fold in lionfish mixture, cilantro, green onions, and salt.
3
Heat oil to 350u00b0 in a 2-quart pot over medium-high heat. Drop batter, about 2 tablespoons at a time, into hot oil, using a large metal spoon to keep fritters separate. (Allow fritters to take on a natural shape.) Working in batches to keep oil at a constant heat, cook fritters, gently turning with a spoon to ensure even cooking, 3 minutes or until dark golden brown. Remove fritters to a paper towel-lined plate; serve with Red Bell Pepper Coulis.
