Ingredients

1 lb Fish I used cod
Salt and Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Cayenne
2 Eggs
1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs

Instructions

Pat fish dry.
Salt and pepper on both sides of each piece of fish.
Place eggs in a shallow bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until blended.
In a small bowl whisk together garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne.
In another shallow bowl add panko bread crumbs and 1/2 of the spice mixture and whisk to blend.
Sprinkle the remaining spice mixture over fish pieces.
Dip each piece of fish in the egg mixture and turn to coat.
Dip in seasoned bread crumbs and turn to coat.
Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Add enough oil in a skillet to halfway cover fish.
Heat over medium-high heat to about 375.
Fry fish for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature is at least 145.

Notes

Let that oil come back up to temp! One of the easiest ways to avoid most of the problems that arise from deep frying is to let your oil come back up to temp between each fish.
