Big diff between vegetable and olive oil frankie. Olive Oil is better used for flavor, where vegetable is better for multi-purpose, plus it seems like you were using this oil/salt/pepper mixture to provide adherence with your panko? That seems sort of counter-intuitive to me. If you need adherence with breading, whip up a couple of eggs and add a tablespoon of water. Fish in the eggs than in the Panko. Oil is the opposite of sticking. Unless you used the oil in the pan for frying, which is necessary, but then again if you used olive oil for frying, than you're wasting it.
