Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets of white fish (such as tilapia or cod)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a shallow bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Dredge each fish fillet in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
  • Shake off any excess flour.
  • Dip the floured fillets into the beaten eggs, coating them completely.
  • Press the fillets into the breadcrumbs, making sure they are well-coated on both sides.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
  • Carefully place the coated fish fillets into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the fried fish from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
  • Serve hot with lemon wedges.

Notes

Adjust the seasoning and spices according to your taste preferences. You can also try different types of white fish for variation. Ensure the oil is hot enough to achieve a crispy coating on the fish.
