Panko-Fried Fish

By á-9182

Just because a dish is considered classic doesn't mean it can never change. Instead of using store-bought bread crumbs or cornmeal, try this recipe using Japanese Panko Crumbs.

Ingredients

• 1 pound fish fillets
• 1 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1-1/2 cups panko or regular bread crumbs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Lemon wedges, tartar sauce (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Season fish with the salt and pepper. Place flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs in separate shallow containers. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Dip each fillet in the following order - flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs. Add fillets to skillet. (Do not overcrowd). Cook, turning once, until fillets are cooked through and golden, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce, if desired.
