Rinse the salt off the surface of the fillets under water, then pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. Lightly coat both sides with potato starch.
- 4
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the fillets presentation-side down and begin to pan-fry.
- 5
Once the edges of the fillets turn white, flip them over, cover with a lid, and steam-cook on low heat.
- 6
Once the fillets are cooked through, wipe away any excess oil from the pan, then pour in the ★ sauce. Coat the fillets well and let the sauce reduce.
- 7
Once the sauce thickens and the fillets develop a glossy glaze, turn off the heat and serve.
