Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Set up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, mix all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs with milk until well combined. In the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Step 3

Dredge each fish fillet in the flour mixture, making sure it is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 4

Dip the floured fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess egg to drip off.

Step 5

Coat the fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 7

Place the coated fish fillets in the skillet (working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the fish is cooked through.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Garnish the fish fillets with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
