Ingredients:

  • 3 haddock fillets (approx. 6 oz / 170g each)
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil

Instructions:

  1. Pat the haddock fillets completely dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Drizzle the fillets with lemon juice and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with a mixture of Panko, Italian bread crumbs, and garlic powder.
  4. Press each fillet into the flour and shake off all excess.
  5. Submerge the floured fish into the beaten egg until fully coated.
  6. Press the fish firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring the edges are well-covered for a uniform crust.
  7. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  8. Carefully lay the fillets in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until the crust is deep golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
