1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1 egg, whisked

1/2 cup milk

She was pretty sure that schnitzel and how to make the breadcrumb crust was known to everyone, but this fish version with a little Italian twist was worth noting down.

Put the potatoes to boil with some salt and caraway seeds. Prepare the three way coat by combining the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and some chopped parsley in one bowl, mixing the milk and egg with a pinch of salt in another bowl and placing the flour in a third bowl. Lightly salt and flour each fish, then dip in milk, then dip in breadcrumbs.

Add the oil to a frying pan and heat over a medium heat. Fry the fish on each side until done and drain on paper towel to avoid additional fat.

Once potatoes are boiled, mash them with milk, cream, teaspoon butter, rest of the finely chopped parsley, salt and pepper. This version is pretty caloric but delicious and creamy. Serve with the fish and slice of lemon.

Bon Appetit!
