With summer time all around, we love cooking fish at our house. And while I love it grilled and the guys love it fried, we needed to find a way to make something that everyone in the family would love. Lower fat than fried, bolder tasting than grilled and perfectly delicious. So, we tried out a little something new. And the results were yummy! So get ready for a healthy twist on your classic fish with a taste that will leave you begging for more!

Panko and Parmesan Encrusted Flounder Recipe

What You Will Need

4 to 6 Pieces of thawed flounder

1 Cup Panko bread crumbs

1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese

1 Egg

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

How to Make It

Begin by beating your egg in a bowl and mixing together one cup of Panko bread crumbs and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and spreading it on a plate. Next warm your two tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan. Place each piece of wish in the egg and roll it to make sure it is coated well.

Remove your fish from the egg and roll in the panko and Parmesan mixture. You may need to use your fingers to rub in the breading to make sure that it sticks to the fish. Roll the fish several times in the mixture until it is covered.

Now place your fish into your heated pan and sear on each side for approximately three minutes or until the fish becomes flaky.

Once your fish is fully cooked, remove it from the pan and place on a paper towel to let any excess oil drain. Then serve with grilled veggies of your choice (you can find a great recipe for grilled veggies here) and fruit or a roll.

You will have a wonderfully light dish that is perfect for warm summer evenings! Enjoy!
