I know that you think you can’t cook fish at home. Perhaps you think cooking fish is too difficult or smelly. Well, children and pets are difficult and smelly and they’re not even edible. So, let’s learn how to cook redfish at home!

This is the pan I used in the video. I highly recommend it!

Watch me make this recipe here!

Shallow Fried Redfish

Ingredients:

• 2 redfish fillets
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions:

1. Season the Fish:
   In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pat the redfish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the seasoning mixture.
2. Prepare the Dredging:
   Place the flour in a plastic bag or zip-top bag. Add the seasoned redfish fillets to the bag, seal it, and gently shake until the fillets are coated with flour.
3. Remove Excess Flour:
   Open the bag and gently shake off any excess flour from the fillets. You want a light, even coating.
4. Heat the Oil:
   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and olive oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan, but not too much — this is a shallow fry.
5. Fry the Redfish:
   Once the oil is hot, carefully place the redfish fillets into the pan. Fry for about 2 minutes on each side, or until the fillets are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through. The fish should easily flake with a fork when done.
6. Serve:
   Remove the redfish from the pan and let them rest on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite sides or a squeeze of fresh lemon for an extra pop of flavor!

Enjoy your perfectly pan-fried redfish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!
