½ cup Vidalia Onion, small dice Bacon
2 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
2 each Large Eggs

Method of Preparation:

1. Place bacon in large skillet and cook over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towel. Once cool, chop bacon into small pieces.

2. While bacon is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in medium sized sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add onions. Sauté until light golden brown and caramelized, about 3-5 minutes, moving around the pan constantly. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside in bowl to cool.

3. Mix together the Panko, caramelized onions, bacon, and dill in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Set aside.

4. Whisk eggs in mixing bowl, with milk if desired, and set aside.

5. Mix together flour, salt and pepper in mixing bowl.

6. Bread thawed fish by placing first in flour, shaking off excess.

Place in eggs to coat completely and allow extra to drip off. Then, press into Panko mixture to coat both sides evenly. Place on baking sheet until all pieces of fish have been breaded.

7. Place ½" of vegetable oil in large skillet and heat over medium flame. Allow to get hot and place 2 pieces of fish in pan. After bottom is golden brown, about 1 minute, flip with spatula and allow to cook through, 1-2 more minutes.

8. Place cooked fish on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or paper towels to drain. Place sheet in oven to keep warm while cooking remaining fillets.
