Crispy Oven-Fried Cod
Ingredients
3⁄4 cup dry breadcrumbs
3⁄4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 (6 ounce each) pieces cod
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
1. Heat oven to 500*F.
2. Combine breadcrumbs, cornmeal, salt, and cayenne in large, sealable plastic container and shake to mix. Put eggs in shallow bowl or container.
3. Season fish with salt and pepper. Working with 1 piece of fish at a time, put fish in breadcrumb mixture and shake to coat. Dip fish in eggs, then shake in crumbs again to coat. Transfer fish to plate. Repeat with remaining fish pieces.
4. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large oven safe skillet over high heat. Fry fish on one side until golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip fish, add remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and cook 1 minute more until second side is golden brown. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until fish is just cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Comments
This recipe is from epicurious.com and I picked it because I haven’t made cod in a while. I’d be happy to always have salmon on fish night, but I try to vary it up for Lance’s sake from time to time. Aren’t I benevolent? The coating on this cod was flavorful and I was pleased with how crispy it turned out. I had leftovers in sandwich form with bread, mayonnaise and some relish. This is a nice, basic recipe which means it pairs well with just about everything.
