Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup matzo meal
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the matzo meal, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Place the flour in a third shallow dish.
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess flour.
Dip the floured fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
Press the fillet into the matzo meal mixture, coating both sides evenly. Repeat with all fillets and set them aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Fry the coated fish fillets in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to flip the fish carefully.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fish fillets with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
