This dish offers a burst of fresh flavors with a crunchy coating that perfectly complements the tender fish inside. It’s an easy and quick recipe that will surely become a favorite in your household.
Ingredients:
– 4 fillets of your preferred whitefish (such as cod or halibut)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Cooking oil (such as vegetable or canola oil) for frying
– Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing your fish fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which will help the coating stick better.
2. In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, coat the fillet with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the fish.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add enough cooking oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded fish fillets in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
5. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the fish is cooked through. Depending on the thickness of your fillets, you may need slightly more or less cooking time.
6. Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve the Fresh Pan Fried Fish hot, garnished with lemon wedges for a bright citrusy finish.
