Ingredients

  • 4 6-ounce fillets, white fleshed fish such as sole or whitefish
  • 3/4 cup gluten free oat or regular flour
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup oat or regular milk
  • 1/4 cup avocado or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add the oil to a large frying pan over medium heat. While the oil heats, rinse and pat dry the fish, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Mix the flour and sesame seeds together and coat the fish with the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.
  3. Fry the fish on each side, 3-4 minutes. Flip the fish and cook for 2-3 more minutes. It is ready to serve when the flesh flakes with a fork. Set each fillet on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
