How it's done
Labneh
Add the salt to the yoghurt, pour the yoghurt into a sieve lined with a cheesecloth. Place the sieve over a bowl, cover and leave to drain in the fridge for approx. 8 hrs. or overnight.
Crumb coating
Preheat the oven to 60 °C, warm the platter and plates. Salt the fish fillets. Empty the flour and breadcrumbs into two separate shallow dishes. Place the egg in a deep dish. Toss the fish fillets in the flour in batches, shake off the excess, dip the fish in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs down firmly.
Fish
Heat a dash of oil in a non-stick frying pan. Season the fish fillets, fry in batches for approx. 2 mins. on each side. Remove, keep warm.
Tomatoes

To serve
