Method

Directions for Preparing Filetes, Plancha, Diabla, Empanizada, Veracruz

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the fish fillets and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    Set up a breading station with one bowl for the beaten egg and another for the bread crumbs. Dip each marinated fillet first into the egg, then into the bread crumbs, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the cooked fillets topped with sliced avocado, diced tomato, and sliced onion. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
