Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil or neutral cooking oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set aside. This will help the coating adhere better.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the eggs (whisked), and one with a mixture of Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Coat each fish fillet in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then press it into the Parmesan-panko mixture, ensuring an even coat on all sides. Repeat with the remaining fillets and place them on a plate.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place the coated fish fillets into the pan without overcrowding (cook in batches if necessary).
Step 5
Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Gently flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish. Pair with a salad, roasted vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
