Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil (or canola oil)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
In a third dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it evenly on all sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the skillet without overcrowding. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the fillets are golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Using a slotted spatula, transfer the cooked fish fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty finish.
