Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat a large saucepan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons oil, then add panko. Cook and stir until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and panko is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

02

Step
2 mins

Transfer bread crumb mixture to a small bowl and add lemon zest, seafood seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; mix to combine. Set aside.

03

Step
0 mins

Wipe out the saucepan and pour in remaining oil. Season fish fillets with remaining salt and add to the pan.

04

Step

Cook over medium heat until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

05

Step

Serve fish topped with bread crumb mixture.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture.
Serve immediately for the best texture. The bread crumbs will soften if they sit for too long.
This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
