Step 1
Pat the 4 fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with the 1 tsp salt.
Step 2
Set up three shallow bowls: one with the 1/2 cup flour, one with the 2 beaten eggs, and one with the 1 cup breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Dredge each fillet in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently so they stick.
Step 4
Heat the 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Fry the fillets in a single layer (work in batches if needed) until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
