Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by prepping the fish fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Prepare three shallow dishes: one for the flour, one for the egg mixture, and one for the bread crumb mixture.
In the first dish, add the flour.
In the second dish, beat the eggs and add the milk, whisking together until well combined.
In the third dish, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Press the fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides and ensuring an even layer.
In a large non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Once hot, carefully place the breaded fish fillets in the pan. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Remove the cooked fillets and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for added flavor.
