Panko-Crusted Fish with Lemon Dill Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Fish:

• 4 fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup olive oil (for frying)

For the Lemon Dill Sauce:

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tbsp dried dill)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sauce:
   In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Set Up Breading Station:
   In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
3. Bread the Fish:
   Dredge each fish fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Cook the Fish:
   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded fish fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets.
5. Serve:
   Plate the crispy fish fillets and drizzle with the lemon dill sauce. Serve with lemon wedges and your choice of sides, like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
