Flip the fillets carefully and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or bake the sheet pan).

Note

For a gluten-free option, ensure the corn flakes used are certified gluten-free.

You can add spices like paprika, garlic powder, or dried herbs to the crushed corn flakes for extra flavor.

If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, you can bake the fish directly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

This dish is best served immediately to maintain the crispiness of the cornflake crust.

Pair with steamed broccoli, green beans, or a light side salad for a balanced meal.
