PAN-FRIED PARMESAN FISH FILLETS

2 to 2 1/4 lb firm fresh fish fillets (cod, sunfish, etc)

1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 cup butter-flavored cracker crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Canola or Peanut oil for frying

Combine the milk and egg in a medium-size mixing bowl.

In a pie plate, combine the cracker crumbs and the Parmesan cheese.

Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.

Dip the fish fillets first in the milk/egg mixture then in the crumb mixture to coat completely with a thin coating.

Add the fish to the hot oil and fry for 4 to 6 minutes (per 2 to 3-oz fillet) or until golden brown, turning once to cook both sides.  Remove from the skillet and drain on a double thickness of paper towels before serving.

Yield: Approximately 6 servings
