Ingredients You’ll Need
Alright, grab your shopping list because here’s what you need to make this glorious dish happen:
- 4 filetes de pescado (any white fish will do, but if you wanna be fancy, go for something like tilapia or cod)
- 2 tazas de harina (because we all love a good dusting)
- 2 tazas de pan rallado (the crunchier the better)
- 2 huevos (for that buttery goodness)
- 2 cucharaditas de ajo en polvo (because garlic is life)
- 2 cucharaditas de perejil seco (adds a nice touch, trust me)
- Sal y pimienta al gusto (season it like you mean it)
- Aceite para freír (let’s get those bubbles going)
Got everything? Awesome. Let’s get our hands dirty.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Time to roll up those sleeves and get cooking! Here’s how you can make your pescado empanizado:
-
Secar bien los filetes con papel de cocina para quitar el exceso de agua y salpimentar al gusto. Don’t skip this step. Otherwise, you’ll have soggy fish and nobody wants that.
-
En tres recipientes diferentes, colocar la harina, el pan rallado y los huevos batidos. This is your assembly line, so keep it organized.
-
A la harina, agregar ajo en polvo; al pan rallado, agregar perejil seco y mezclar bien. Mixing is key here, folks. Get in there and get your hands a little messy.
-
Pasar cada filete de pescado primero por la harina, luego por el huevo batido y, por último, por el pan rallado. Think of it like giving the fish a spa day with layers and all.
-
Freír en abundante aceite caliente hasta que estén dorados por ambos lados. Remember not to overcrowd the pan or you will make the oil cry.
-
Escurrir sobre papel de cocina y servir calientes. Plating is important, even if it’s just you at the table.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Let’s get real for a sec. Here are some common mistakes that could happen and how to avoid them:
- Skipping the drying step: This is a big no-no. If your filetes are wet, that batter won’t stick, and you’ll end up with a fishy mess.
- Overcrowding the frying pan: Think of it like a party. Too many fish means no space to dance, and everything gets soggy. So keep it chill.
- Not seasoning enough: I mean could you imagine bland fish? Sorry, but that just won’t cut it. Sprinkle some love, will ya?
- Using cold oil: If you think you can just toss them in any ol’ oil, think again. Cold oil = greasy fish. We want crispy, not oily sponges.
Alternatives & Substitutions
So maybe you’re missing a few ingredients, or you want to make it a little different. No problem, I got your back:
- Fish Substitute: Don’t have fish? No biggie. You can use chicken or even tofu for our veggie friends.
- Flour Alternatives: Wanna keep it gluten-free? Try almond flour or chickpea flour instead of regular flour.
- Breadcrumbs Options: Try crushed cornflakes for a super crunch. You know you want that extra bite.
- Spice it Up: If you’re feeling feisty, add some cayenne pepper or paprika for a spicy kick. Who doesn’t love a little heat?
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I use a different type of fish?
Of course! Any white fish is fair game, but aim for something that won’t fall apart like a sad little pancake.
How do I know when the oil is hot enough?
A great rule of thumb is to drop a little bit of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and pops, you’re ready to rock and roll.
Can I bake the fish instead of frying it?
You could, but let’s be real, where’s the fun in that? Frying gives you that crispy magic. But if you must, brush it with a little oil and bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes.
What should I serve this with?
Oh, buddy, you have options. Toss in some fried plantains, make a side salad, or dive into a mountain of fries. It’s your world; we’re just living in it.
Can I make this ahead of time?
You could, but fresh is always best. If you must make it ahead, store it in the fridge and reheat instead of frying again.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
If you actually have any leftovers (which is a miracle), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the oven for that crispy touch.
