Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 piece Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil or vegetable oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels and set them aside.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, add all-purpose flour mixed with half the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In the second dish, whisk together the egg and milk until combined. In the third dish, mix panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Step 3

Season the fish fillets with the remaining salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.

Step 4

Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the panko-Parmesan mixture. Press gently to ensure the crust adheres well.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Working in batches, place the coated fish fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. The fish should also flake easily with a fork when done.

Step 7

Transfer cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, tangy finish.
