Lemon Panko Fried Red Snapper

This is twist on an old favorite I used to eat as a child when I'd visit my grandparents. It turned out really well. Even my daughter rated this dish a record 264% (her own scale of course), who is a pretty picky eater.

Lemon Panko Fried Red Snapper (serves 4-6)
1.5lbs Red Snapper
3 Egg Yolks
5 tsp Lemon Juice
2-3 cups Flour
2-3 cups Panko Bread Crumbs
Vegetable Oil
Salt
Ground Black Pepper

1. Place about 1/2" Vegetable Oil in a pan.
2. Bring the oil to ~325 F on medium heat while you prep the rest of the food.
3. Remove any skin from the Red Snapper and cut into tenders
4. Combine the Egg Yolks with about 5tsp water, 5tsp lemon juice, and 1 tbs Salt in a bowl. Whisk until mixed well.
5. Pour 2-3 cups Flour into a bowl
6. Pour 2-3 cups Panko into a bowl with 2-3 tsp Ground Black Pepper
7. Drag or Roll your Red Snapper tenders through the Flour, then Egg Yolk, then Panko. They should have a complete coat on all sides.
8. Once the oil reaches around 325F, gently place the Red Snapper into the pan one tender at a time. Be careful not to splash the oil.
9. Turn the tenders every few minutes until they are nice light golden brown (5-10min depending on size).
10. Once golden, place the tenders on a dish covered in paper towels to absorb the excess oil.

I recommend serving with lemon wedges, ketchup, or possibly even a buttery hot sauce if you like to spice things up.
