Crumbed Fish Fillets

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and cut into portion-sized pieces if needed.

  2. 2

    Set up three shallow dishes: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in the third.

  3. 3

    Dredge each fish fillet first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F) - a breadcrumb dropped in should sizzle immediately.

  5. 5

    Carefully place the crumbed fish fillets in the hot oil, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite sides like coleslaw or fries.

Chef's Note

"These golden, crispy fish fillets are my go-to weeknight dinner - simple enough for beginners yet impressive enough for guests. Serve with tartar sauce and a crisp salad for a restaurant-quality meal that comes together in under 30 minutes."
