Crispy Panko Fish Recipe
Description
The recipe uses white fish such as cod or halibut cut into chunks and coated with a mixture of panko crumbs, flour, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper for flavor and texture. The fish pieces are first dipped into a beaten egg and milk mixture which helps the coating adhere well and form a crispy crust when fried.
Cooking involves frying the coated fish in neutral cooking oil over medium-high heat until golden brown, about two and a half minutes on each side. Removing loose panko from the oil between batches ensures a cleaner cooking surface and even crust formation.
Serving immediately after frying allows for the best contrast between the crunchy exterior and the moist, flaky fish inside. This simple, classic approach highlights the fish without complex seasoning or sauce.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs white fish cod or halibut
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper adjust to taste, ground
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- neutral cooking oil for frying, generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Combine parmesan, flour, panko bread crumbs, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.
- Slice the fish into big chunks. Dip the fish fillets into the egg mixture, followed by a dunk in the panko mixture.
- Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Fry the fish for about 2 1/2 minutes per side or until it turns golden brown. Between each round of frying, remove the loose panko left behind in the oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
