- Create the Feta Crust: Mix crumbled feta with panko breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.
- Coat the Fish: Dip seasoned fish filets into beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off. Press each side into the feta and breadcrumb mixture.

High heat is essential for a crispy crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan, and allow the fish to rest after cooking.
