Banana Fish Fillet














I had heaps of banana in over-riping in the fridge and was wondering what I could do with them, until one nice sunny morning when this idea suddenly hit me when I woke up in the morning. Check it out, hope you like it!

Ingredients:

Fish Fillet
1 pc basa fillet (or other white meat fish fillets)
1/2 pc ripe banana (mashed)
3 slice gingers (finely chopped)
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp black pepper powder
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon powder
2 tbsp corn starch/ plain flour
2 tbsp butter

Banana Bread Sticks
1/2 pc ripe banana (mashed)
1 pc wholemeal bread

Salad
1/2 pc banana (diced)
1/2 apple (diced)
1/4 red onion (coarsely chopped)
1/2 green capsicum (coarsely chopped)
3 petals lettuce (fine chop)
2 tbsp vanilla yogurt (or own choice)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp brown sugar
1/3 tbsp salt
1/2 tbsp black pepper powder
1 tsp cinnamon powder













Method:

Fish Fillet
1. Cut the fish fillet into two, marinade with lemon juice, ginger, sea salt and black pepper.
2. In a mixing bowl, bring together the mashed banana, oil, cinnamon powder, and flour; add some water to get a thick and creamy consistency. Soak the fish fillets in the mixture for about 15 minutes.
3. Melt the butter, sauté the fish fillets over low heat until the meat colour changes, or for about 10 minutes.

Bread Sticks
1. Cut bread into 4 strips, spread over with mashed banana.
2. Bake in oven at 200°C for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are hard and crunchy.

Salad
1. Heat oil in a pan, stir in onion, capsicum, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes.
2. Add in diced apples and bananas, stir-fry for another 2 minutes before adding cinnamon powder.
3. Turn off heat, stir in yogurt, done. Top over fish fillets to serve. The lettuce is to set the base for the fish fillets.
