Ingredients

  • 80g (1½ cups) Panko breadcrumbs
  • 600g (1.3lb) Firm white fish fillet

  • Pat fish dry and cut into strips approx. 1.5cm x 10 cm / ⅗" x 4" 
  • Prepare breading station: Place flour in a shallow dish/plate. Place the egg in a separate shallow bowl and whisk. Combine the bread crumbs, lemon zest, parsley and salt and place on a third plate/shallow dish.
  • Place fish strip into the flour and roll to coat. Then dip into the egg and finally into the breadcrumb mixture to coat. Place on the prepared baking tray (if baking) or plate (if frying). Repeat until all fish is coated.

Notes

FISH: Use a firm white fish, most varieties will work well. (e.g ling (pictured), flathead, cod, catfish, basa, barramundi, tilapia, lemon sole etc)
BREADCRUMBS: Panko is optional, you can use your preferred breadcrumb. Baking them for around five minutes before coating is optional but allows you to achieve a more uniform, golden colour when baking the fish. 
FRYING: Depending on your pan size you will need to fry in 2,3 or 4 batches. Try not to overcrowd the pan
