Prepare the fish fillets by patting them dry with paper towels.

Season the fish with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan.

Dredge each fish fillet in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip the floured fish into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.

Coat the egg-covered fish in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the fish fillets in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer the cooked fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve the fish hot, garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
