Pan-Fried Fish with Tomato Sauce

After a busy day at work, if you are wondering what to cook for dinner, pan-fried fillet of fish takes no more than 15 minutes to prepare. On the side, prepare steamed vegetables or even some rice and potatoes, and you will have a healthy tasty dinner. The method of pan frying is good for fish, such as salmon, tuna, trout or catfish. You can remove the skin or leave it on . If you decide to leave the skin on, then first put the skin-side down.

Ingredients:
2 eight oz. fillet of fish ( salmon, trout or catfish)
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp house seasoning*
1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1 cup homemade tomato sauce or store-bought pasta sauce

Directions:
Heat a heavy pan over medium heat.
Combine the flour with house seasoning and lightly dredge fish in flour and shake off the excess. When pan is hot, add canola oil and follow immediately with butter. You can see the foaming began. As soon as the foam subsides, place fish in pan. Shake the pan slightly to keep fish from sticking. Cook the fish on both sides until it forms a golden crust. Remove the fish from pan and add tomato sauce to the pan. Bring sauce to boil and return fish to the pan and baste fish with sauce for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve on top with caramelized onions.
