📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the fish: Cut fish fillets into 3-inch pieces and transfer to a shallow dish. Stir the egg whites, cornstarch, vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the fish, being certain to coat both sides of each fillet. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill for 10 to ⏱️ 15 minutes.

Prepare the citrus sauce: Combine fresh lime juice, honey, thyme, and remaining salt in a small saucepan over high heat. Boil until it thickens slightly -- about ⏱️ 3 minutes -- and set aside.

Fry the fish: Place the sesame seeds in a shallow dish and dip each fillet into the dish to coat each side lightly with the seeds. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Place the fish, a few fillets at a time, in skillet and fry until cooked through and the white seeds are golden brown -- about ⏱️ 4 minutes on each side. Drain fillets on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining fillets, adding more oil as necessary. Place the mâche or greens on a serving platter and place the fish on top. Drizzle the fish and greens with the citrus sauce and serve immediately.
