basic pan fried fish
Simple technique for frying up fish in a frying pan.
Ingredients
2 lbs fresh fish fillets, cut into serving sized piecesSalt and pepper
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon milk
1 cup bread crumbs, panko flakes, cracker crumbs, or cornmeal (Standard Breading Procedure)
Enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan by 1/8 of an inch
Cooking Directions
Sprinkle the fish fillet portions with salt and pepper.
Dust both sides with flour.
Dip the lightly floured fillets into the egg wash, then drain away any extra egg wash, then roll them in the bread crumb or other dry coating. Shake off excess.
Place the fillets in a preheated frying pan in a single layer, and fry over moderate heat until browned on one side, then turn over and fry until golden on the other side. Ensure each fillet is cooked through before serving.
Place on absorbent paper toweling, then repeat with remaining fillets.
Serve immediately.
