👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Pat the fish dry well with paper towels, and sprinkle the salt and white pepper over it.
    Paper towels
  2. 2
    Roll the fish in flour 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.
  3. 3
    Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

    💡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.
  4. 4
    Fry the fish 3 minutes per side, until the coating is golden and crisp.

  5. 5
    Transfer the fish to a plate. Melt the butter in the same pan and wait until it browns slightly.

  6. 6
    Add the lemon juice and parsley, immediately pour the sauce over the fish and serve.
