Pan Fried Fish

I know not everyone likes fish, but this is a great way to cook fish. There are tons of different types of fish but I usually stick to tilapia, mahi mahi and salmon. I only bake salmon since it's so oily, but love to pan-fry tilapia and mahi mahi. I use panko bread crumbs, you can find them in the isle with asain food if you can't find them with the regular bread crumbs. If you aren't familar with panko they are made with a lighter bread so they fry up really crispy and don't burn as bad. You can also mix like 1/4cup coconut with 1 cup panko for a coconut bread crumb that is great with fish or shrimp I serve with mango salsa. Here is the basic recipe for pan frying fish:

1 egg slightly beaten
1 cup of Panko bread crumbs
Fish of your choice
2-3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Warm up the olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Dip the fish in egg so it's well covered. Dip the fish in panko. Fry for 4 minutes on each side or until fish is done. Serve with a fresh veggie. Last night I drizzled butter on it and it was so good.
