How to make the BEST,
pan-fried crispy fish.
At Silver and Gold Magazine, we believe fish should be consumed at least twice per week. this is because fish is an important source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential nutrients for your heart and brain health.
Since our bodies do not naturally produce Omega-3 fatty acids, we must get them from the foods we eat... Plus fish is so good, especially when cooked correctly!
​
Now, you may think that this recipe is not good because you have been tainted by the fact that it's pan-fried, but when it comes to good healthy eating, good fats come into play here! Some of the best fats to cook with – those which will provide nutrition – include coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, and grapeseed oil.
​
This pan-fried crispy fish is so delicious it will have you coming back for more!
Enjoy it in smaller pieces as part of a fish taco, or in larger pieces as a meal. It even keeps well in the refrigerator for eating the next-day!
How to make this fish dish:
To make the best-fried fish, meaning, a very tasty and flavoured fish that will also be crispy and not soggy, you need to have 3 bowls as follows:
​
The first bowl will have a flavoured flour – with all-purpose flour, seasoned with a teaspoon of paprika, mustard powder, salt and pepper.
​
The second bowl will have eggs that have a bit of water or milk added to them and scrambled together.
​
The third bowl will have your breadcrumbs, again flavoured with just salt and pepper to taste. Keep a rind of lemon or lime handy for adding to the almost-ready, pan-fried fish!
Once your fish has been floured, egged, and breaded, set it aside as you prepare the other pieces.
​
You will notice that it will become firmer to the touch even when it's raw – and this is a good t thing! It will crisp up even more when cooked.
Once pan-fried over medium heat until golden brown and thoroughly cooked (approximately 3-5 minutes per side), this delicious fish is very versatile: Serve over fresh quinoa salad, steamy rice, or try making our ​easy and always-crispy oven french fries, for that beloved
Fish + Chip meal that is sooo satisfying!
