Preheat a large saucepan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons oil, then add panko. Cook and stir until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and panko is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

3
Wipe out the saucepan and pour in remaining oil. Season fish fillets with remaining salt and add to the pan.
