Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crumb Mixture:

   • In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, cayenne pepper, and lemon pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the breadcrumbs.

2. Coat the Fish:

   • In another shallow dish, crack the egg and beat lightly. Dip each fish fillet into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated.
   • Next, coat the fish in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the fillets. Make sure both sides are evenly coated for maximum crispiness.

3. Cook the Fish:

   • Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
   • Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated fish fillets into the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until the crumbs are golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
   • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook the fish in batches depending on the size of your pan.

4. Finish with Citrus Drizzle:

   • Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the heat and transfer to a serving platter.
   • Drizzle the freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice over the cooked fillets, allowing the citrus flavors to infuse into the crispy coating.

5. Garnish and Serve:

   • Garnish the Lemon and Lime Crumbed Fish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
   • Serve immediately, alongside your favorite salad or side dishes.

Enjoy this delightful seafood dish bursting with tangy citrus flavors and crunchy breadcrumbs. It’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal! 🍽️🍋
