Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
• 100 grams sesame seeds
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 4 tablespoons cooking oil (for frying)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with sesame seeds.

Step 3

Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, press the fillet into the bowl of sesame seeds, coating it evenly on both sides.

Step 4

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the sesame-coated fillets into the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the sesame-crusted fish fillets hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, and accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
