Crispy Fried Fish with Lettuce

Ingredients

• 1 lb white fish fillets
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups lettuce
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups cooked rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 1 lb fish fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set up three shallow bowls: 0.5 cup flour, 1 beaten egg, and 1 cup panko breadcrumbs.

2. 2

   Dredge each fillet in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with panko, pressing gently so the crumbs stick. Place the coated fillets on a plate.

3. 3

   Heat 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. The oil should sizzle when a crumb is dropped in.

4. 4

   Fry the fish in batches without crowding, cooking until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side. The fish should flake easily with a fork when done.

5. 5

   Drain the fried fish on paper towels. Arrange 2 cups lettuce and 1 cup cherry tomatoes on plates, top with the crispy fish, and serve with 2 cups cooked rice.

6. 6

   Optional: squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish before serving for extra brightness.
