Fried Fish Filet Ingredients

Method

Fried Fish Filet Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coating

    In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Coat the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the flour and cornmeal mixture. Shake off any excess coating.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the coated fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the skillet.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried fish from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
