  • Yield: 4 fillets

  • Place bran cereal in a blender; blend until pulverized. Transfer to a shallow bowl and mix in lemon-pepper seasoning.
  • Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place flour in a medium bowl. Whisk egg and milk together in another medium bowl. Dredge a flounder fillet in flour; shake off excess. Dip into egg mixture.

  • Add fillets to the hot oil and deep fry for 3 minutes, turning once halfway through. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
