FISH FILLET RECIPE

FISH FILLET RECIPES

PAN FRIED FILLETS

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: EGGS, BREAD CRUMBS, GRATED PARMESAN CHEESE, GARLIC optional see below.  Glass of Pinot Grigio.

This is done to our taste so we have no measurements:

• Mix together ¾ bread crumbs and ¼ grated parmesan cheese.
• Beat 2 eggs – see below about Garlic
• Dip fish in egg mixture to coat
• Press each fillet -both sides - in bread crumb mixture
• Put on plate and in freezer for about 5 minutes to hold mixture together.
• Pan fry – Medium heat - with Olive Oil & Butter. Garlic – see below.
• Cooking time is about 2 minutes on each side – don’t overcook – test with toothpick or fork should go through fillet easily.
• ENJOY with tartar sauce (our recipe below) & lemon. And a glass of Pinot Grigio.

IF YOU LIKE GARLIC –

1 - Add a pinch of dry Garlic Salt or seasoning to bread crumb mixture.

2 - OR when pan frying with olive oil & butter add fresh garlic to taste – or Traders Joes Garlic cubes work well also.
