Directions

  1. Preheat a large saucepan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons oil, then add panko. Cook and stir until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and panko is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

  2. Transfer bread crumb mixture to a small bowl and add lemon zest, seafood seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, mix to combine. Set aside.

  3. Wipe out the saucepan and pour in remaining oil. Season fish fillets with remaining salt and add to the pan.

  4. Cook over medium heat until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

  5. Serve fish topped with bread crumb mixture.

Recipe Note

I am a transplanted Floridian and this takes me back to memories of when I lived on the coast of Florida. I love serving this with fresh vegetables and risotto.
