PANKO FRIED HALIBUT CHEEKS
Halibut cheeks are truly tender, flavorful morsels. I don't like to use too many herbs or spices with them just let the natural flavor come through. You could add some garlic to the pan or mix in some fresh dill - it's up to you. This is how I enjoy them served with some Tartar sauce & an additional wedge of lemon. You may substitute regular bread crumbs but Panko are better

Tips:
- Selecting the Right Halibut Cheeks: Choose halibut cheeks that are firm and have a light pink color. Avoid any that are slimy or have an off odor.
- Preparing the Halibut Cheeks: Before frying, pat the halibut cheeks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the breading adhere better.
- Seasoning the Halibut Cheeks: Season the halibut cheeks with salt and pepper, or your preferred seasonings, before coating them in the breadcrumb mixture. This will enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Creating the Panko Breadcrumb Mixture: Combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a shallow dish. This flavorful breading will give the halibut cheeks a crispy and golden-brown exterior.
- Coating the Halibut Cheeks: Dredge the seasoned halibut cheeks in the panko breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides. This will help the breading adhere during frying.
- Frying the Halibut Cheeks: Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated halibut cheeks into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides. This usually takes a few minutes per side.
- Draining and Serving: Once the halibut cheeks are cooked, remove them from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess grease. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or lemon wedges.
