CORNMEAL AND FLAX-CRUSTED COD OR SNAPPER



Cornmeal and Flax-Crusted Cod or Snapper image

Fish will not absorb much of the oil in which it is fried if the oil is properly heated. These crisp fillets are a great way to work flaxseeds, toasted or not, into a main dish.

Time 5m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds snapper or cod fillets
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup fine cornmeal (if you have only polenta or coarse cornmeal, you can grind it to a fine powder in a spice mill)
1/4 cup flaxseeds, untoasted or toasted, coarsely ground
1/4 cup all-purpose flour or rice flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 to 4 tablespoons canola oil
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large, heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat (unless you're planning to cook the fish later).
  • Pat the fish fillets dry, and season with salt and pepper. In a wide bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flaxseeds, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the flour on a plate or in a baking dish. Beat the eggs in a wide bowl. Dredge the fillets first in the flour -- tap them to remove excess flour -- then in the egg, then in the cornmeal-flax mixture. If not cooking right away, place the fish on a baking sheet, uncovered, in the refrigerator.
  • Add 2 tablespoons canola oil to the hot pan. When it is rippling, carefully add as many fillets as will fit your pan. Cook four to five minutes on each side (depending on the thickness of the fillets) or until nicely browned. Remove from the pan, and keep warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining fish and oil, as necessary. Serve hot, with lemon wedges.

CORNMEAL BREADED SNAPPER



Cornmeal Breaded Snapper image

This is very easy to make, if not a bit messy, but the crust comes out so crunchy. It's really nice served with any kind of rice, or a baked potato and a green thing ( asparagus, zucchini, spinach, broccoli, or green beans... actually broccolini is my new favourite with this.) It's just something my mother always did with fish & she used to play with the seasonings from time to time. This is my latest mix. Discard unused crumb, egg & flour mix. You won't need all of it.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 4 fillets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 red snapper fillets
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
2 eggs
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1 pinch dried oregano
1 pinch dried basil
pepper
2 -3 tablespoons oil

Steps:

  • Rinse fillets under cold cold water. Lay on plate & pat dry with paper towels.
  • Remove 3 shallow bowls from cupboard (here's where the messy bit starts).
  • In one of the bowls, mix together flour, paprika and lemon pepper. Fluff together with fork.
  • In another bowl stir together the 2 eggs until frothy.
  • In the 3rd bowl mix the breadcrumbs, cornmeal, parmesan cheese, oregano, basil and pepper.
  • Heat oil in pan.
  • Dip each fillet first into the flour mixture. Coat evenly on both sides, then dip into the egg mixture, then the breadcrumb/cornmeal mixture.
  • When oil is hot lay the filets gently in the pan. Do not crowd.
  • Cook fillets until golden brown on both sides. I do mine in a Texas skillet. (large frypan), but if you have to do it in two batches, you can keep them warm for awhile in a 230°F oven on a plate lined with paper towel.
  • Serve with a little tartar sauce, seafood sauce or brown butter.
  • Enjoy!

Time 39m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
1 (16 ounce) beer, ice cold
2 tablespoons honey
peanut oil
6 (6 ounce) cod fish fillets
salt
black pepper, freshly ground
tartar sauce

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, add flour, cornmeal, cayenne and sugar and mix together. Whisk in cold beer and honey until well incorporated and free of lumps.
  • Preheat deep-fryer to 375 degrees F. with peanut oil.
  • Season cod with salt and pepper and dredge in batter. Allow excess batter to drop off and place gently into the deep-fryer. Fry for 6 to 8 minutes until golden, crisp and delicious. Drain on paper towels. Place cod on a large serving platter or individual plates and serve with tartar sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality fish: Opt for wild-caught cod or snapper whenever possible, as they tend to have a more delicate flavor and firmer texture.
  • Use a light touch when breading the fish: You want the cornmeal and flaxseed crust to adhere to the fish without making it too thick or heavy. Press the crust mixture gently onto the fish, taking care not to over-handle it.
  • Preheat your cooking oil or pan thoroughly: This will help create a crispy crust on the fish and prevent it from sticking. If using a pan, make sure it is large enough to accommodate the fish without overcrowding.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat: This will allow the fish to cook evenly throughout without burning the crust. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle sizzle.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Once the fish is cooked through, remove it from the heat and serve it right away. This will ensure that the crust remains crispy and the fish stays moist and flaky.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal and flax-crusted cod or snapper is a flavorful, healthy, and easy-to-prepare dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With its crispy crust, flaky fish, and zesty flavors, this recipe is sure to impress your family and friends. Whether you choose cod or snapper, this dish is a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy the bounty of the sea.
