For an extra crispy crust, you can lightly toast the crushed saltine crackers in a dry skillet before using. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the fish to prevent sticking and promote even browning. Serve with a lemon wedge and a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the breading station: Spread the crushed crackers evenly on a plate. Pour the beaten eggs into a shallow dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepDredge the fish: Place the Dover sole fillets in a resealable plastic bag. Add the seasoned flour and gently shake to coat each fillet evenly. (5 minutes)
03
StepHeat the skillet: Heat the vegetable oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. (3 minutes)
04
StepBread the fish: Dip each flour-coated fillet into the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off. Then, press the egg-coated fillet into the crushed crackers, ensuring an even coating on both sides. (5 minutes)
05
StepPan-fry the fish: Carefully place the breaded fillets into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. (10 minutes)
06
StepSeason and serve: Transfer the cooked fillets to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh dill, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately. (2 minutes)
