Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
