Any Kind of Fish Katsu (Deep Fried Panko Fish)
This fish katsu is a fish filet breaded in panko and deep fried. You can choose any kind of fish you want!
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless fish filet of choice about 4 filets
- 1 pinch salt see notes
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups panko
- oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Put oil in deep frying vessel of choice (I use a wok) and begin to heat to 350 degrees F.
- Mix flour, salt, and eggs in a shallow dish. Place panko in a separate dish.
- Dip fish filets in flour/egg batter, then dip in panko, pressing panko firmly into the sides.
- Place breaded filets into preheated oil (you may have to cook in two batches). Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until fish is cooked through.
- Serve fish with tonkatsu sauce, tartar sauce, or other topping of choice.
Notes
I usually don't measure how much salt I put into the flour. I just do a pinch. If you're unsure, you can start with 1/4 tsp. If it's not salty enough, salt can always be sprinkled on after while fish is hot.
