Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1.5 lb Cod fillet pieces, (4-6 pieces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp melted butter
5 garlic cloves, (minced)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground coriander
3/4 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
3/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, and melted butter in a shallow bowl (do not add the garlic yet). Set aside.
  • In another shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, spices, salt and pepper. Set next to the lemon sauce.
  • Pat the fish dry. Dip the fish in the lemon sauce then dip it in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour. Reserve the lemon sauce for later.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or an oven-safe pan) over medium-high heat (watch the oil to be sure it is shimmering but not smoking). Add the fish and sear on each side to give it some color, but do not fully cook (about 2 minutes on each side). Remove the skillet from heat.
  • To the remaining lemon sauce, add the minced garlic and mix. Drizzle all over the fish fillets.
  • Bake in the heated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork (10 minutes should do it, but begin checking earlier). Remove from the heat and sprinkle chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Provided by Stephanie Gallagher

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the Fish
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 egg whites
2 cups panko bread crumbs (Japanese bread crumbs)
1 1/2 pounds codfish fillets
Dash kosher salt
Dash freshly ground black pepper
For Lemon Butter Sauce
1/3 cup lemon juice (fresh)
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large nonstick frying pan , heat butter and olive oil over medium heat.
  • Set up a breading station with two shallow dishes. Beat the egg whites and set them in one dish. Spread out panko breadcrumbs in a thin layer in another shallow dish.
  • Dip the cod first in the egg whites, then in the panko, pressing lightly to help the breadcrumbs adhere. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Sauté the coated fillets in the butter-olive oil mixture until golden, about 3 minutes.

  • In a small saucepan, heat the lemon juice and vinegar over medium-low heat until the mixture is reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
  • Stir in butter and salt.
  • Drizzle sauce lightly over the crispy codfish fillets. Serve and enjoy!

CRISPY BAKED COD



Crispy Baked Cod image

It's a Friday night fish fry - with a twist. This 30 minute cod is baked, not fried, but still has a satisfyingly crispy, crunchy crust. Try baked white potatoes or sweet potatoes, cooked in the microwave to save time, on the side.

Categories     High Protein

Time 30m

Yield 4 cod fillets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs or 1/2 cup regular breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
4 (6 ounce) skinless cod fish fillets (1 1/2-inch thick)
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F In a small skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add bread crumbs, stir to coat with butter, then cook, stirring frequently, until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley and lemon zest. Let cool. Combine mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
  • Rinse fish and pat dry. Sprinkle each fillet lightly with salt, then place on a rimmed, foil-lined baking sheet and brush with mustard mixture. Press 1/4 of crumbs onto each fillet.
  • Transfer baking sheet to oen and bake until fish is no longer translucent (cut to test) and flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes. If crumbs aren't sufficiently browned, broil fish 2 inches from heating element until crumbs are crisp and dark golden brown (watching carefully to prevent burning), 2 minutes longer. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Select the Freshest Cod: Choose cod fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, slightly briny aroma. Avoid fillets that appear slimy or have an off odor.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A generous coating of salt, pepper, and herbs will help enhance the natural flavor of the cod and create a crispy crust.
  • Use High-Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for baking cod. Its rich flavor and health benefits make it an ideal complement to the delicate fish.
  • Don't Overcook the Cod: Cod is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Bake it until it is just opaque in the center, about 10-12 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Serve Immediately: Baked cod is best enjoyed immediately, when it is hot and crispy. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

With its crispy skin, flaky flesh, and bright lemon flavor, this Crisp Baked Lemon Cod is a delightful dish that is sure to impress.
