CRISPY LEMON PEPPER FISH

Active Time : 25 minutes
Total Time : 25 minutes
Serves : 6 servings
INGREDIENTS
  • - pure vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon & pepper seasoning divided
  • 2 cups instant mashed potatoes flakes
  • 1 1/2 pounds mild white fish fillets [cod, orange roughy, haddock]
  • - lemon wedges
  • - tartar sauce
DIRECTIONS

Fill a large skillet with high sides halfway with oil. Heat over medium-high heat until oil reaches 375°F on a deep fry thermometer.

Meanwhile, place flour in a shallow dish; salt and pepper to taste. Place egg, mustard and ½ teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning in a second shallow dish; whisk until well combined. Place potato flakes and remaining 2½ teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning in a third shallow dish.

Pat fish dry with clean paper towels. Dust with flour, dip in egg mixture and coat with potato flakes; carefully place in oil and fry until golden brown and fish is cooked through, turning occasionally (about 3-4 minutes).

Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep warm while frying remaining fillets. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
