Pan-Fried Fish Fillets

Ingredients

• 4 filets white fish fillets
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 4 wedges lemon wedges

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 4 fish fillets dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, mix the 1/2 cup flour, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

2. 2

   Dredge each fillet in the seasoned flour, pressing lightly to coat both sides. Shake off any excess flour.

3. 3

   Heat the 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Carefully place the fillets in the hot oil in a single layer. Cook without moving until the bottom is golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

5. 5

   Flip the fillets and cook until the other side is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3-4 more minutes.

6. 6

   Transfer the fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Serve hot with the 4 lemon wedges on the side.
