Step 2: Arrange bread crumbs on a flat platter to coat the fish. Make two eggs, dunk the butter-coated Emperor fish fillets in the beaten eggs, and the bread crumbs cover the fish fillets.
Step 3: Cook to perfection: Preheat your pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. In the pan, place your coated Emperor fish filets. Cook for 10 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. 5 minutes into the cooking process, add the cherry tomatoes to the pan.
