Nothing says classic cast iron cooking quite like the sound and scent of breaded fish fillets frying in a skillet. This simple, satisfying version from Wüsthof‘s Executive Chef Mike Garaghty serves up extra savory flavor thanks to its dijon & white wine rich egg wash.

Try it! It’ll soon be a regularly repeated part of your culinary repertoire, especially if you take menu requests from your dinner guests.
