Tips & Substitutions
For best results, choose fresh wall-eye fillets without any fishy smell. If you're out of Progresso Italian bread crumbs, you can use panko for extra crunch or make your own by processing stale bread with Italian herbs. Soaking in milk helps to mellow the fish's flavor, making it more palatable. Ensure the butter is hot enough before adding the fish to achieve a perfect golden crust.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fresh wall-eye with a squeeze of lemon for brightness, and consider pairing it with a side of Creamed Turnips for a delicious contrast. A light salad or steamed vegetables can also complement the dish well. For a heartier meal, consider serving with a side of buttery rice or quinoa.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fish in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through, which helps retain its crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the fish soggy.
