Panko Breaded Fish Fillet
Before I met David, I was eating fish every single week, sometimes even twice. My list of favorite fish is a long one. So far, I don’t think there is a fish I didn’t like and I’ve tried many. I’ve always used many different methods to cook them such as steamed, Broiled, pan-fried, en Papillote, Grilled and so on. I also like some of them as is… I mean raw, you know sushi, sashimi, Tataki, or even tartar.
David has never been too crazy about fish. He has always been more of a “meat and potato” type of guy. After encouraging David to have fish more often (the ones he liked were salmon, steelhead, red snapper, and canned tuna), I had to be creative. Yep, I know… sometimes men are just like kids! So one dish I knew he would instantly like was this one, Panko Breaded Fish Fillet!
Every time I make this dish, he enjoys it and at the same time he eats more fish. So I’m hitting two birds with one stone or should I say two fish… not sure! Lol!
At the beginning of the video you see me grinding most of the Panko and keeping some coarse breadcrumbs on the side. I believe it adheres better to the fish that way without completely losing the crunchy texture. After all I want to have the breadcrumbs on the fish not next to it otherwise it wouldn’t be a breaded fish fillet anymore.
I’m still working on different methods for him to enjoy more fish but it’s not easy. If you are in the same position as I am with younger and older kids at home, you should definitely give this panko breaded fish fillet dish a try and like me, work your way up… slowly!
