Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow dish, add the all-purpose flour.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and mix in the milk.
In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess.
Dip the floured fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
Finally, coat the fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the fish fillets in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the crumbed fish fillets warm with lemon wedges and a side of choice.
