Main ingredient: flounder
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs

Method
- Set out three shallow bowls: flour in the first; egg whisked with mustard and salt in the second; panko mixed with garlic powder and pepper in the third.
- Dust each fillet with flour and shake off the excess; dip in the egg mixture; press firmly into the panko to coat both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, just covering the base, until it sizzles.
- Fry the fillets in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden, cooked through and at 145F.
