Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces plaice or flounder fillets
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Panko)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the plaice or flounder fillets dry with a paper towel and set them aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the all-purpose flour in a separate shallow dish.
In another shallow dish, beat the two eggs until well combined.
Dredge each fillet in the flour, making sure to coat both sides lightly. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured fillets into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Press the fillets into the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the coated fillets to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for drizzling.
