Ingredients

• 4 pieces fresh white fish fillets
• 1 cup low sodium bread crumbs
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.

Step 5

In a third dish, place the low sodium bread crumbs.

Step 6

Coat each fish fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 7

Dip the floured fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's completely coated.

Step 8

Press the egg-coated fish into the bread crumbs, making sure the fish is completely covered in crumbs. Set aside on a plate.

Step 9

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil and unsalted butter over medium-high heat until the butter melts and the mixture is hot.

Step 10

Carefully add the breaded fish fillets to the skillet, cooking them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 11

Transfer the browned fish fillets to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 13

Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
