Pan-Fried Fish

Okay, that’s a crummy picture but I’m working on that.  this is a simple recipe that turns out a restaurant-quality dish.  The extra step of soaking the fish in the milk, I think, turns out a superior product.  People love this every time I make it so go ahead and try it.  I’m going to work on a gluten-free and paleo version but if you are not either of those this recipe will work wonders for you.  Another key is to make sure the pan is nice up to heat before you put the fish in so it starts cooking and getting a crust immediately.
