Ingredients:
- 4 fillets (170 g each) of tilapia or any fish with white meat
- 1.5 cups of milk
- 1 cup wheat flour
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 large eggs
- 6 slices white bread, torn into pieces
- 1/3 cup parsley leaves
- Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon, and lemon wedges for serving
- 5 - 6 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 4 tbsp (60 g) butter
- 6 cups young arugula leaves
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 220°C. Place fish fillets in a bowl with milk and 2 cups of ice for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, combine flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl. In a food processor, puree the bread, parsley, lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then transfer to a separate dish.
- Remove the fillets from the milk and roll them in flour. Dip them in the egg mixture, then in the crumbs. Place them on a plate.
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Heat 2 tablespoons each of olive oil and butter in a large skillet. Add 2 fish fillets to the pan and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fillets to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 2 fillets, adding another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and butter to the pan. Place the fish in the oven and bake for 8 minutes, until cooked through.
- Toss the arugula leaves with the remaining 1–2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the fish with lemons and salad.
