Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds fish fillets (haddock, cod, catfish, pollock, or similar mild white fish)
Kosher salt (to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (unseasoned)
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs (or 1/2 cup egg substitute )
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (or Creole)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 lemon (quartered, for serving)
Optional: tartar sauce or rémoulade sauce (for serving)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Heat the oven to 425 F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and then spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cut the fish fillets into 6-ounce portions.
  • Sprinkle both sides of the fish pieces with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • In a wide bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and parsley.
  • Put the flour in another wide, shallow bowl.
  • In a third bowl, whisk the eggs or egg substitute with the Cajun seasoning and mayonnaise.
  • Dip the fish fillets in the plain flour, coating each piece thoroughly.
  • Dip the flour-coated fillets in the egg mixture and then coat them with the panko crumb mixture, pressing lightly to help the crumbs adhere to the fish. Repeat with the remaining fish.
  • Arrange the crumb-coated fish on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for about 16 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The time in the oven depends on thickness, so adjust for very thin or very thick fish fillets. Serve the baked fish fillets with the lemon wedges and tartar sauce or rémoulade sauce.

CRISPY BAKED FISH WITH TARTAR SAUCE



Crispy Baked Fish With Tartar Sauce image

Charming fish shacks and salty sea air aren't a weeknight possibility for most of us, but thankfully, this recipe is. It features a clever technique from recipe developer Molly Kreuger: Creamy tartar sauce is spread on the fish to add flavor, keep the fillets moist during cooking and help the bread crumbs adhere to the fish. (Feel free to use your favorite tartar sauce in place of the one below.) The fish is baked until nearly cooked through, then broiled to toast the breadcrumb topping. The end result is crispy, creamy, tangy and moist, all of which is achieved without having to deal with a big pot of oil. Eat with more tartar sauce and a squeeze of lemon.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dinner, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup mayonnaise
5 tablespoons capers, drained and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped pickles (such as cornichons or half sour)
2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon, dill or parsley
1 teaspoon Worcestershire or soy sauce
1 small garlic clove
1 large lemon
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
4 (6-ounce) thick white fish fillets, such as halibut or cod (skin on or off)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the upper part. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, capers, pickles, herbs and Worcestershire sauce. Using a Microplane, finely grate the garlic into the bowl, then grate in the zest of the lemon. (Hold onto the lemon; you'll use the juice later.) Stir to combine and season the tartar sauce to taste with salt and lots of pepper.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the panko and olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Pat the fish dry on all sides and season lightly all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to a lightly greased or foil-lined sheet pan. Coat the top with a thin layer of the tartar sauce (a scant tablespoon per fillet). Sprinkle the panko evenly on top (about 2 tablespoons per fillet), pressing gently to adhere.
  • Bake the fish on the top rack until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes for fillets between ½- and ¾-inch-thick (though you should check earlier, if using a thinner fish). An instant-read thermometer should read somewhere between 125 and 130 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the fish.
  • Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon juice from the lemon to the tartar sauce and cut the remaining lemon into 4 wedges for serving.
  • When the fish is nearly cooked through, switch the oven to broil. Broil the fish on the top rack until the bread crumbs are golden and the fish flakes easily and registers 140 degrees in the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes. Eat with a spoonful of tartar sauce, more black pepper and a squeeze of lemon. (Any extra tartar sauce will keep for up to a week in the fridge.)

CRISPY OVEN-FRIED COD FISH



Crispy Oven-Fried Cod Fish image

There is nothing fancy about this but if your looking for a crispy coating without any deep-frying this is about as good as it gets, If your skillet is not large enough to hold all of the fish, then transfer to a baking sheet that has been coated with oil, only dry breadcrumbs or the coating will not adhere to the fish --- cooking time is for oven only, if desired any large fish fillet can be replaced for the cod, all seasoning my be adjusted to taste

4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
4 tablespoons salted butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon pepper
Garnish: fresh lemon wedges; chopped fresh parsley
