Directions

1Choose a large pan deep enough to cover the mojarra with oil.

2Heat the oil in the pan over medium heat.

3Rinse and dry the mojarra. Be sure to dry it well to avoid problems with the hot oil.

4Make small diagonal cuts on the fish to aid in the cooking process.

5Add salt and pepper to the fish and pass it through the flour.

6Add the garlic cloves and lemon peels to the frying pan with the oil.

7When the oil gets really hot, put the mojarra in the pan.

8Cook for about 15 minutes, until cooked properly.

9Remove the fish from the pan and remove the excess fat by drying it with napkins or paper towels.
