Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup of milk
  • 1 large egg, whisked until smooth
  • 1/2 cup of versatile all-purpose flour
  • A pinch of salt and a sprinkling of ground black pepper, tailored to your taste buds

Step 1

Combine milk and egg in a bowl, whisking until well mixed. In another bowl, season flour with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Coat each fish fillet with the seasoned flour, then dip it into the creamy egg-milk mixture. Roll the fillet in bread crumbs, ensuring it is fully covered for a crispy finish.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Place the coated fillets in the hot oil and cook until they turn a beautiful golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve the fish immediately, garnished with lemon wedges for a hint of citrus freshness.
