💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Use a non-stick pan to prevent the fish from sticking and ensure an even crust.
- ✓For a quicker cook, leave the fish at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
- ✓If you don't have parsley, you can substitute with fresh dill or chives for a different flavor.
- ✓Make sure to dry the fish well with a paper towel before dredging in flour to achieve a crispier texture.
