This fish recipe mimics fried flavor without the added fat … the fillets are coated in crunchy, Japanese-style breadcrumbs called panko and they bake up so crispy, you’ll swear these tender halibut fillets are deep-fried! 😉
STEP 1: For the coating, you will need …. 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) + 1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil + 1 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley + 1/2 tsp onion powder + 1 large garlic clove, minced … combine all together in a shallow dish
STEP 2 : Season your Halibut fillets with freshly ground black pepper & salt
STEP 4 : Beat an eg and dip fillets into a beaten egg … okay … point of note : this should be STEP 4 … after dredging fish in flour then only dip into beaten egg! 😳
STEP 3 : Place 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour on a shallow dish … dredge fish in flour … yes, this is STEP 3 ..dredge fish in flour then only dip into beaten egg 😝
Firmly coat the fish with the panko breadcrumbs mixture
The nicely coated fillets ready to be fried
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat … slide in the fillets and cook 2 1/2 minutes on each side or until slightly browned
Place fish on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray … bake at 230°C for 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness .. optional : grate some Parmesan cheese atop fillets if you so wish to .. I did so 😉 … serve up with vegetables (+ potatoes?) of your choice
