Mr. Perfectly Fine Crispy Pork Milanese with Arugula-Lemon ‘Mic Drop’ Salad

"Create a crisp, weeknight-easy main called Mr. Perfectly Fine Crispy Pork Milanese with Arugula-Lemon ‘Mic Drop’ Salad, inspired by Taylor Swift’s ‘Mr. Perfectly Fine.’ Vibe: catchy, smug, cut-to-the-chase crunch.Core: thin pounded pork cutlets; dredge: seasoned flour → beaten eggs → panko + grated Parmesan; shallow-fry in neutral oil until shatter-crisp.Salad: arugula tossed with lemon juice + olive oil, pinch salt/pepper; add shaved Parmesan and optional capers.Serve: pile the bright arugula on top of each golden cutlet; lemon wedges on the side.Include: yield for 4; total time ~30 minutes; exact ingredient amounts; step-by-step pounding/dredging/frying cues (oil temp, color, internal temp 145°F + rest); oven keep-warm tip so everything stays crisp.Swaps: chicken or turkey cutlets instead of pork; gluten-free (GF flour + GF panko); dairy-free (skip Parm); air-fryer option (spritz with oil, flip halfway).Plating: oversized, perfectly flat golden cutlet with a messy-cute arugula crown and glossy lemon—looks ‘perfect,’ tastes better. Keep everything common and fully home-kitchen accessible."
