When the kids ask, "Mom, what's for dinner tonight?" I reply with a smile: homemade breaded fish! As a mom who's fed my family hearty, affordable meals for years, this recipe beats store-bought every time. It's crispy, flavorful, and guaranteed to bring smiles to the table.
- 6 white fish fillets (hake, cod, sea bream, or your favorite)
- 3 eggs
- 200 g flour
- 200 g breadcrumbs
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
1. Spread the flour on one flat plate and the breadcrumbs on another.
2. In a deep plate, beat the eggs until smooth.
3. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper, then cut into large pieces.
4. Dip each piece first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
5. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Your homemade breaded fish is ready – delicious, simple, and wallet-friendly!
Serve with a fresh squeeze of lemon, golden fries, and ketchup. My family loves it so much, they eat lighter lunches the next day!
