Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 whole lemon (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Add flour to the first bowl. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Then dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat it with the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the fish fillets.
Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through (fish should easily flake with a fork).
Transfer the cooked fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crumbed fish hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy!
