Don’t confuse potato flakes with instant mashed potatoes. The flakes are coarser in texture, which is necessary to properly coat the fish. It's a great way to add flavor to any weeknight fish fillet. The whole dish comes together in just 10 minutes. It features a salsa of fresh tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and balsamic vinegar to serve alongside the fish. After dredging the fish in egg wash, coat it with the Parmesan-potato mixture and pan-sear it in some hot oil, which should only take about 5 minutes total. You'll love how quick and easy and delicious this dinner is, and it'll soon become one of your go-to weeknight favorites.
