French Onion Chipotle Fish

This is the best fish recipe I have come up with so far. This time I fried the fish but it can also be baked. Please note if you bake the fish instead of frying it, you will have to turn the fish halfway through cooking. It should be cooked on 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Additionally, I used flounder fillets in this recipe, but you can also use tilapia.

Here is what you will need:
1/2 cup cooking oil
1 pound flounder fillets
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Hidden Valley Ranch chipotle dipping sauce
1/2 mayonnaise
1 pack onion soup mix

Heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan not prone to sticking. I used red palm canola oil because it is a healthier option. However you can use any kind of cooking oil. 

While the oil is heating, make and assembly line for the fish. Pour the breadcrumbs into a large shallow bowl and whisk together. Into another large shallow bowl, combine the mayo, Chipotle dip, and onion soup mix. 

Make sure the cooking oil is hot. Coat one piece of fish with the mayonnaise mixture, and then completely cover the fish and bread crumbs. Put this directly into the hot oil. Do not prepare the fish before you are ready to fry as this will cause the breadcrumbs to become mushy.
Fry fish until completely done on each side, probably about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
