Instructions
-
Combine flour and salt, then coat the fish evenly.
-
Heat 1/8- to 1/4-inch of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Brown the coated fish on both sides, then remove and set aside.
-
While the fish cooks, prepare the aromatics: slice garlic, juice lemon, and chop parsley.
-
In a separate clean frying pan, warm a few tablespoons of olive oil over low heat. Add sliced garlic and a bay leaf, then stir in a mixture of vinegar and Spanish paprika. Incorporate half of the lemon juice, then season with salt and additional lemon juice to taste.
-
Return the fried fish to the sauce and simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes.
-
Plate the fish, spoon the paprika sauce over it, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with white rice or home-fried potatoes.
