How to Make Fish Fillets In Sesame Crust

  1. Gently wash and thoroughly pat dry 1 lb of white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or halibut work well) with paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend, fine rice flour, or cornstarch for gluten-free), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup sesame seeds.
  3. Pour 1/4 cup milk into a shallow dish. Dip each fish fillet into the milk, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in the flour-sesame seed mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Refrigerate the coated fillets for 10-15 minutes to allow the crust to set.
  5. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (or use your deep fryer according to manufacturer's instructions).
  6. Carefully place the fillets in the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  7. Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, flavorful fish!
