Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Fish

Lightly season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Dredge each fillet in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.

2

Cook the Fish

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the battered fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

3

Prepare the Seafood Mix

In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Sauté the mixed seafood for about 3-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.

4

Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if necessary and sauté onion and garlic until soft. Add red bell pepper, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in white wine and let it reduce for 2-3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened.

5

Combine and Serve

Return the seafood mix to the sauce, stirring to combine. Place the cooked fish fillets on a serving plate, top with the seafood sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley.
