Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flounder or sole fillets
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 piece lemon (zested and juiced)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the flounder or sole fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
Place the bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, and finally coat it evenly with bread crumbs. Repeat for all fillets.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is hot but not smoking.
Add the fish fillets to the skillet in a single layer (cook in batches if needed) and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Sprinkle the fillets with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
