Preparing the Fish

Begin with 100-150 grams of fish fillet like cod or tilapia. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Coat the fillet evenly in flour or breadcrumbs. Dip into a beaten egg, then back into the breading to ensure a thorough coat.

Frying the Fish

Heat approximately 10 grams of oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded fish in the oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, ensuring the fish is cooked through.

Serving

Serve the fried fish hot, garnished with a sprig of parsley or cilantro for an added touch of freshness. Pair with sides of your choice for a complete meal.
