Step-by-Step Method
Set up your station
Drain the capers and set out the lemon slices. Beat the eggs (or liquid egg substitute) in a bowl and stir in the black pepper. Spread the flour on a plate.
Coat the fish
Lightly dust the fish pieces in flour and shake off the excess. Dip them into the egg mixture so they’re evenly coated.
Pan-fry
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat the surface. Cook the fish until golden, flipping once; about 3–4 minutes per side depending on thickness. If it browns too fast, lower the heat slightly.
Finish and serve
Plate the fish, sprinkle over the capers, and serve with lemon slices. If you like, squeeze a bit of lemon into the pan at the end and swirl briefly for extra aroma.
