Ingredients:
For the Breaded Halibut:
- 4 halibut fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter (for frying)

For the Mashed Potatoes:
- 2 lbs (about 1 kg) potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
For the Breaded Halibut:
- Prepare the Coating:
- Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the Halibut:
- Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper. Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Cook the Halibut:
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded halibut fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
- Serve:
- Serve the breaded halibut with lemon wedges on the side.
For the Mashed Potatoes:
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Mash the Potatoes:
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the heavy cream and butter. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Serve the mashed potatoes alongside the breaded halibut.
Enjoy your delicious breaded halibut with creamy mashed potatoes!
