Fried Fish with Crispy Onions and Peppers

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb white fish fillets
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 large onion
• 1 green bell pepper
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 1.5 lb fish fillets dry and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

2. 2

   Place 0.5 cup flour in a shallow dish and beat 2 eggs in another. Dredge each fillet in flour, then dip in egg, letting excess drip off.

3. 3

   Heat 0.25 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the fish in batches until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

4. 4

   Slice the 1 large onion into thin rings and the 1 green bell pepper into strips. Add remaining 0.25 cup oil to the skillet over medium-high.

5. 5

   Cook the onion and pepper, stirring occasionally, until the onion is crispy and browned at the edges and the pepper is tender, about 8-10 minutes.

6. 6

   Spoon the crispy onions and peppers over the fried fish and serve hot.
