Crisp Fish Fillets in Luscious Cream elevate dinner delight with a perfect blend of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, whisk the eggs in a second dish, and place the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
  3. Dredge each fish fillet in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded fish fillets in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. In a separate saucepan, combine the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is warmed through and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Serve the crisp fish fillets drizzled with the luscious cream sauce.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, bake the breaded fish fillets at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, instead of frying.
  • Add sautéed spinach or steamed broccoli to the plate for a colorful and nutritious side dish.
