Pescado a lo Pobre (Poor Man's Fish)

Ingredients

• 2 6oz White fish fillets (cod, hake)
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 large Eggs
• 1/4 cup Flour
• 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet and heat over medium-high heat, 375°F (190°C).
2. 2Season the 2 6oz white fish fillets with the 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
3. 3Place the 1/4 cup flour on a plate and dredge each seasoned fish fillet in the flour, coating all sides.
4. 4Carefully place the floured fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a clean plate.
5. 5Add the medium onion, sliced, to the same skillet with the remaining hot oil. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and lightly browned.
6. 6While the onions are sautéing, crack the 2 large eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks if you prefer sunny-side up. Fry the eggs for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
7. 7To serve, place one cooked fish fillet on each plate. Top each fish fillet with half of the sautéed onions and one fried egg.
