Ingredients

3 eggs

1 tbsp vegetable oil

3 cups fresh breadcrumbs

2 tbsp finely grated lemon rind

2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill

8 x 120g thin, boneless white fish fillets

Plain flour, for dusting

Vegetable oil, for shallow frying

Method

Step 1

Whisk eggs and oil in a shallow bowl until combined. Place breadcrumbs, rind and herbs in a separate shallow dish. Mix well.

Step 2

Toss fish in flour and shake away excess. Dip in egg mixture, then coat in crumb mixture, pressing crumbs on lightly.

Step 3

Heat enough oil in a large, deep, non-stick frying pan to shallow-fry over a medium-high heat. Cook fish in two batches for about 2 mins on each side, or until golden brown and cooked. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Cover lightly with foil to keep warm.

Step 4

Serve fish with salad leaves, potato wedges, tartare sauce and lemon wedges.
