SUSAN'S CRISPY FISH FILLETS



Susan's Crispy Fish Fillets image

I found the basis for this one on Allrecipe's but due to my family's preferences and ingredients I had in the house, I changed the original recipe and came up with this one and we LOVED it!!! You can use any mild white fish for this one but we use thin flounder fillets and it is pure heaven in your mouth! The original recipe called for using instant mashed potato flakes but since I never have that, I subbed in Panko and YUM!!!!! I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

Time 20m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (I use Garli Garni)
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 1/2 lbs flounder fillets (or any mild white fish, thin!)
1/4 cup olive oil (to fry in, however, we use less)
2 lemons (for squeezing over fish when serving)

Steps:

  • Put flour in a bowl.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, mustard and salt.
  • Place panko crumbs in yet another bowl and add in garlic and pepper.
  • Dust fillets with flour, then dip in egg/mustard mixture and then press into panko.
  • Heat enough oil to fry one fillet in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each fillet individually and put a small amount of oil in before each fillet rather than the full 1/4 cup all at once since it seems doing it this way causes me to use WAY more oil than needed.
  • Fry fish fillets in oil for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
  • Serve with fresh squeezed lemons.

¼ cup oil for frying

Tips:

  • Choose the Freshest Flounder Fillets: Look for fillets that are firm, moist, and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are discolored or have an off odor.
  • Pat the Fillets Dry: Before cooking, pat the fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the fillets crisp up nicely in the pan.
  • Season the Fillets Generously: Don't be afraid to season the fillets liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as paprika, garlic powder, or dried thyme.
  • Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet is the best choice for cooking flounder fillets. It will help prevent the fillets from sticking to the pan and breaking apart.
  • Cook the Fillets Over Medium-High Heat: Medium-high heat will help the fillets cook quickly and evenly. Be sure to adjust the heat as needed to prevent the fillets from burning.
  • Don't Overcook the Fillets: Flounder fillets are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook the fillets for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and flaky.
  • Serve the Fillets Immediately: Flounder fillets are best served immediately after cooking. You can garnish the fillets with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or tartar sauce.

Conclusion:

Crispy flounder fillets are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. By following these tips, you can ensure that your flounder fillets turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give crispy flounder fillets a try!
