  1. 1
    Cut the fish into 5–6 cm pieces.

  2. 2
    Pat the fish dry well with paper towels.

  3. 3
    Brush the fish with the lemon juice on all sides.
    Pastry brush
  4. 4

  5. 5
    Roll the fish in the flour mixture on all sides, to a thin, even coating, and shake off the excess.
    💡Shake off the excess flour well: a thick layer of flour comes away from the fish during frying, while a thin coating stays crisp.
  6. 6
    Heat the olive oil in a large pan to 175°C (345°F).

    💡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.
  7. 7
    Fry the fish 2–3 minutes per side, until the coating is golden and crisp.
    StoveFrying pan
  8. 8
    Transfer to paper towels to absorb the excess oil.

  9. 9
    Sprinkle the parsley on top and serve.
