This Crispy Fish with Dipping Sauce offers a delightful crunch paired with a zesty sauce, making it an ideal dish for casual gatherings and satisfying cravings.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound white fish fillets cod, tilapia, or haddock
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs panko is preferred
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Oil for frying vegetable or canola
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon capers chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the fish fillets by patting them dry and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
  • Dredge each fish fillet in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  • Fry the coated fish for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the fish from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • For the dipping sauce, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, and capers in a bowl and mix well.
  • Serve the crispy fish hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
