For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or dried herbs to the bread crumb mixture. To prevent the fish from sticking, ensure the oil is sufficiently hot before adding the fillets. If you prefer a lighter coating, you can use panko bread crumbs instead of plain bread crumbs. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Step
5 mins
Pour olive oil into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Heat over medium heat. (5 minutes)

Step
2 mins
While the oil is heating, arrange the red onion rings on a shallow dish or platter. Drizzle evenly with balsamic vinegar, ensuring all rings are lightly coated. (2 minutes)

In a separate shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs and self-rising flour. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution. (1 minute)

05
Step

Carefully place the coated fish fillets into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C). (10 minutes)

Transfer the fried fish fillets to the platter of balsamic-marinated onions, allowing any excess oil to drain onto the onions. (2 minutes)
07
Step
5 mins
Let the fish rest on the onion mixture for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. (5 minutes)
