Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

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

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for bread crumbs.

Dredge each fish fillet in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip the floured fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.

Coat the fish fillet in bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully place the breaded fish fillets in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary.

Fry the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the fish from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish fillets before serving.

Garnish with chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
