I used the base of the recipe with Yellowfin Tuna, but I cut onion chunks and soaked them in balsamic. I used a smaller pan which allowed me to cover the whole fillets. I cooked 5 minutes, then turned and cooked for 2 minutes just to be sure. I would put the fish in the mixture and pour more balsamic on top. I let everything soak up the balsamic and it turned out super tasty. I just wish I cooked the onions. I love onion, and eating it raw is still good, but cooked in balsamic vinegar is so much better.

Sorry but I had a couple of problems with this recipe. The flour/breadcrumb mixture wouldn’t stick to the fish without a binder. I whisked a whole egg, dipped the fish into flour, the egg and then into the flour/breadcrumb mixture. After doing this the fish was really good. The balsamic for me was too sweet to serve with fish. I felt and tasted that the dish needed more acidity. Thanks for posting your recipe.

My husband and I really enjoyed this way of making halibut. I used seasoned bread crumbs and all purpose flour. The balsamic vinegar adds a good flavor.

I used cod and this fish came out better than I expected. I was worried it was going to be soggy, but it was not.

My husband and I LOVED this recipe. I followed very close to the original recipe, however I used less oil and I used seasoned bread crumbs. I also couldn’t find halibut, so we used cod. DELICIOUS! Thank you for sharing. We will make again. Yummm.

Good recipe. It can be made healthier with a lot less oil, use olive oil, and less flour. For this kind of frying, don’t use your evoo, use a lighter one. Less smoke.
