Pescado Empanizado (Breaded Fish Fillet)

Steps

1. Pat the fish fillets dry, then sprinkle with lime juice and season with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
2. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and dip each fillet into the eggs.
3. Spread the bread crumbs on a shallow dish.
4. Coat each egg-dipped fillet in the bread crumbs, turning to cover both sides, then press gently so the crumbs adhere.
5. Place breaded fillets on a clean plate and repeat with the remaining fish.
6. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
7. Line a plate with paper towels for draining the fried fish.
8. Fry the fillets 2-3 at a time, without overcrowding the pan, for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
9. Transfer fried fillets to the paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
10. Serve with rice, lime wedges, corn tortillas, and salsa.
