Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Place the flour onto a plate. In a separate dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip each fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small breadcrumb into the oil — it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully place the coated fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the fried fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with wedges of lemon for squeezing over the top.
