Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 whole lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, add the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Dip each fish fillet into the flour, coating it evenly and shaking off the excess. Next, dip the fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Finally, press the fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Step 5
Gently place the breaded fish fillets into the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy and the fish is cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the crunchy fish fillets immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
