You can be creative and use whatever flavor of potato chips you like, plain, sour cream and onion, salt and vinegar, spicy etc,if using plain flavor I suggest to add some spices, make certain to use a good brand of potato chips --- plan ahead the fish must be refrigerated in the dressing for 1 hour before breading --- I made this using tilapia fillets about 3/4-inch thick and found that 12 minutes was just enough time, cooking times will of coarse vary depending on the size of your fish, I also made this using basa fillets, any meaty fish fillets will work fine for this --- you will love this!

EASY PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH LEMON AND THYME



Easy Pan-Roasted Fish Fillets with Lemon and Thyme image

A simple way to cook pan-roasted fish fillets that are flavorful, moist and delicious.

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Easy Main Course

Time 10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 5-ounce fish fillets ½-inch thick
-- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
1 medium lemon, sliced into ¼" rounds
4 sprigs of fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Take the fish fillets out of the refrigerator and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. (I used haddock for this recipe, but you can use any delicate white fish such as cod, striped bass, or snapper).
  • Place a sturdy, 10-inch, nonstick skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, carefully add the olive oil. If your fillets have the skin still on them, place them skin-side down, making sure to layer them away from your body so you do not get splattered with the hot oil. Add the slices of lemon. Using a fish spatula, gently press down the fillets for about 20 seconds, or so, to prevent curling. If your fillets are skinless, ignore this step.
  • Lower the heat to medium and sauté the fillets until you see some color around the edges. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it will take about 2 to 3 minutes to get to this stage. With a fish spatula, flip over the fillets the lemon slices. Next, add the fresh thyme to the skillet. Wait a few seconds and tilt the skillet slightly, using a spoon to baste the fish with the thyme-flavored olive oil. (If you want a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of butter to the pan along with the thyme.) Continue basting until the fillets have a nice color and are cooked through, about 1 more minute.
  • Place the lemon slices on the fillets and serve immediately with your favorite summer salad and a glass of dry white or rosé wine.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For this recipe, firm-fleshed fish like cod, tilapia, or catfish are good choices. Avoid delicate fish like trout or salmon, as they may fall apart during cooking.
  • Season the fish generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking multiple fillets, make sure there's enough space between them so they can cook evenly.
  • Baste the fish with melted butter: This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful. You can also add herbs or lemon slices to the butter for extra flavor.
  • Cook the fish until it's flaky: The fish is done cooking when it flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook it, or it will become tough.

Conclusion:

This easy fish fillets recipe is a quick and delicious way to enjoy fish. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can have a healthy and flavorful meal on the table in no time. Serve the fish with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad. Enjoy!
