  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Turn oven to warm setting (170 degrees or lowest it will go). Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and set aside.
  • Set up an assembly line: place flour on one plate, eggs in a bowl and combine panko, salt and garlic together on another plate.
  • Dredge fish in flour, dip in egg and then press into panko to coat. Repeat until all fish is coated.
