💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
5
Fry the fish 3–4 minutes per side, until the coating is golden and crisp.

6
Transfer to paper towels to absorb the excess oil.

7
