Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
  • 4-6 boneless fish fillets (any white fillets, such as haddock, whiting, snapper, cod)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2-4 Tablespoons oil for sautéing
Seasoned Flour:
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry herbs (such as parsley, basil, thyme, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Sauce:
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3-4 Tablespoons lemon juice (or dry white wine)
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • salt, ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
  1. Combine all the ingredients together for the seasoned flour in a large shallow bowl. Lightly beat the eggs in another shallow bowl.
  2. Heat part of the oil in a nonstick skillet on medium heat.
  3. Dredge the fish in the seasoned flour and then dip in the eggs and immediately place into the hot oil. Cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on how thick the fish is. If your skillet is small, you may have to do this in 2 batches. Drain the fish on paper towels or a paper bag.
  4. In the same skillet, drain off most of the oil. Add the shallot and garlic. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Cook for about 3 minutes, just until the shallots are tender.
  5. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Off the heat, add the butter and parsley. Serve over the fish.
