    How to Make Pan Fried Fish

    To make a good pan fried fish, it has to be fillet, no bones and no skin. A good nonstick pan is essential, you don’t want the fish to stick to the pan and lose most of it.

    Do not overcook the fish. Fish is a tender meat and people tend to overcook it, two to three minutes are usually enough to cook one side of the fish, maybe a little longer if the cut is thick.

    As mentioned above a little amount of spices and a mixture of oil and butter to fry will give you the best pan fried fish!

    Quick Dinner Recipe

    This pan fried fish recipe is great for dinner or lunch, it is light and low in calories and usually I serve it with Mujadara or roasted potatoes. Mujadara is a Middle-Eastern side dish, made of green lentils, caramelized onion, and rice.

    I have tried this recipe with different types of fish and it always comes out delicious. This fish recipe is forgiving and I have a feeling that all the ingredients needed are already in your kitchen.

    To coat the fish I am using all-purpose flour but I have also used corn meal and whole wheat flour in coating this fish and the outcome was great every time.

      We thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. We used the frozen flounder pieces you get from a large bag in the seafood freezer section. Thawed them for 30mins. Fried ours in an electric roaster/fryer. I honestly would not change a thing. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thank You.

      Thought I’d also mention..
      I got this recipe from the Super Cook App
