Pan-Fried Icefish
Tasty fish that's easy to make — time to treat the family! Pan-fried icefish comes together quickly and simply, like any other fish. It needs no advance prep or marinating, yet turns out delicious and very tender. If you like, you can give it a squeeze of lemon or lime, but that's optional. Serve it with any side you enjoy — potatoes are a perfect match — and a suitable sauce rounds it out nicely too.

- Pan-frying icefish couldn't be simpler. Like any fish, it cooks very fast — just a few minutes. So it's best to have your side dish ready first, and only start frying the fish once the side is done. That way, both the fish and the side land on the plate hot. Any side dish works: boiled potatoes, grains like rice, baked or stewed vegetables, even pasta all pair well with fish cooked this way. You can also add some fresh vegetables and a few sprigs of fresh herbs. Start by washing the fish. Icefish is usually sold frozen and already gutted, but if yours isn't, gut and clean it. There's no need to cut off the head. Rinse the fish thoroughly under running water, then pat it dry with paper towels. Rub it with salt and ground black pepper, both inside and out. Meanwhile, set a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and heat it well. Once it's hot, lay the fish in the skillet. Fry for 5 minutes, then flip and fry another 3–4 minutes, until cooked through. Cover the pan with a lid for the last couple of minutes. If you want a crisp skin, skip the lid but nudge the heat up a bit. Transfer the fried fish to plates, add your side dish, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top (or skip it, or use lime instead). Serve while it's still hot. Enjoy!
