Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Fish

    Rinse the butterfish fillets under cold water and pat dry. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

    Set up a breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and paprika in a third.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Panko Fried Butterfish

    Dredge each fillet in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

    Toss the seasoned butterfish lightly in cornstarch. Heat a small amount of oil in a wok or frying pan. Add the fish and fry until golden. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, then add minced ginger and sliced green onions. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.
