Prepare the Fish: Season the fish fillets with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge the fillets in flour, then dip them in the beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are fully coated.
Fry the Fish: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry the fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Make the Lemon Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Place the crispy fish fillets on a plate with a scoop of mashed potatoes. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the fish and potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
