Ingredients

1 cup crushed saltine crackers
2 eggs, beaten
1 pound Dover sole
0.25 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or more as needed
1 pinch fresh dill, or to taste
salt to taste

Instructions

Spread crushed crackers evenly onto a plate. Pour beaten eggs into a shallow dish.
Place the sole fillets in a gallon-sized resealable bag and add flour; gently shake to coat each piece thoroughly.
Heat cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Dip each floured sole fillet into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then press both sides into the cracker crumbs to coat completely.
Pan-fry the coated sole in the hot oil until golden brown and the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 5 minutes on each side. Season to taste with fresh dill and sea salt.
