Parmesan-Red Pepper Fish

A great cruncy coating with a kick! This recipe can be used with almost any fish fillet - I use mahi mahi, but it would be good with tilapia, sole, flounder, etc. or even bass, crappie, walleye, or bluegill.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 2-3
• Yields: 1 fillet

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 1⁄3 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1⁄2 cup  grated parmesan cheese
• 1  teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more, if you like it spicier!)
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2 -4  boneless fish fillets (such as mahi mahi or tilapia)
• 3  tablespoons butter

Directions

1. Prepare three shallow bowls: in the first, put the flour. In the second, the milk; in the third, the bread crumbs, Parmesan, red pepper, pepper, and salt.
2. Coat the fillets with the flour, then the milk, and then the bread crumb-Parmesan mixture. Press the mixture into the fish.
3. Melt the butter in a large skillet, and sauté fillets until golden brown and flesh flakes easily with a fork.
