Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 fish fillets (tilapia, cod, or any white fish)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup capers
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl.
  4. Coat each fish fillet in the seasoned flour, then dip it in the beaten egg mixture, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs to adhere to the fish.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish fillets and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Remove the fish from the pan and set aside.
  7. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  8. Add the capers, lemon juice, and chicken broth to the pan, and stir to combine.
  9. Cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes or until it starts to thicken.
  10. Add the butter and stir until melted.
  11. Return the fish to the pan and spoon the sauce over the fish.
  12. Serve hot with lemon wedges and additional parsley.

Notes

To ensure that your fish is crispy, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fish to the pan. You can check the temperature by adding a breadcrumb to the oil. If it sizzles immediately, it’s hot enough. Serve the fish with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
