Flounder fillets
- 1 pound flounder fillets Fresh or thawed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs Beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs Preferably panko
- vegetable oil For frying
- lemon wedges For serving
Rinse the flounder fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the breaded flounder fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
