This dish is very flexible—you can serve it with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or a dipping sauce of your choice. Pair it with fries for a healthier “fish and chips,” or keep it light with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
The best part? It only takes about 15 minutes, so it’s perfect for busy weeknights, family dinners, or when you need a simple high-protein meal.

Tips & Tricks
- Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
