Directions

- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic and onions until just tender.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs well.
- In another shallow bowl, season the flour (or bread crumbs) to taste with salt and pepper.
- Working with only a few pieces at a time, dip seasoned fillets in flour, then in beaten eggs, then again in flour.
- Sauté the fillets in the seasoned oil for 2 minutes on each side, adding more oil if needed.
- Remove to a plate to keep warm and repeat the process until all fillets are cooked.
- Serve immediately.
