Crispy oven fried fish is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional deep-fried fish. It is made by coating fish fillets in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture and then baking them in the oven until they are golden brown and crispy. This cooking method results in a fish that is crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside. Oven-fried fish is also a great way to get your kids to eat fish, as it is a healthier option than deep-fried fish and it is often less messy to prepare.

CRISPY OVEN-FRIED COD FISH
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

BONNIE'S CRISPY OVEN-FRIED COD FISH
I found this recipe on the web by Kittencalskitchen, tweaking it to suit our tastes. I love the simplicity of this cooking method, and it is a definite keeper in this house. This is very crispy fish without deep frying, no mushiness either. For oven-fried fish, this is as good as it gets. I make it in a cast iron skillet....

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 475 degrees and set the oven rack to second-lowest position.
- 2. Mix the cornmeal, bread crumbs, and seasonings in the first shallow bowl. Beat the eggs in the second shallow bowl. Add one piece of fish to the DRY bowl, coat well and remove and dip the fish in the WET bowl. Return to the DRY bowl and coat again. Do this with all the fish pieces. It is a 3-step process: dry, wet, finishing with dry. Transfer all breaded fish to a plate.
- 3. Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet, or any oven-proof skillet. Cast iron just browns better. Fry the underside of the fish until it is brown 1 or 2 minutes, then turn and fry the other side. When all of the pieces are browned, put the skillet and the fish in the hot oven. Bake about 5 or 6 minutes until just cooked through.
- 4. Here is what it looks like. Serve immediately.
- 5. I have an excellent recipe for tartar sauce posted on this site. https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/utahn/tartar-sauce/spread
- 6. Cook's tip: Pie plates make great shallow breading dishes. Next time I plan on using white cornmeal. I fry a lot of catfish using white cornmeal, and we prefer it over the yellow. It is not as coarse. I will let you know what happens when I do. Enjoy!
CRISPY OVEN FRIED FISH
I am allergic to many seafoods, even to touch it, but I don myself with gloves & make this dish for my husband, because he likes it. He really loves this version, that is also listed in my cookbook. You can use either corn flake crumbs or panko bread crumbs, I always have panko bread crumbs in the pantry, but used the Corn Flake...

CRISPY OVEN FRIED FISH
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay a wire rack on top, spraying it with non-stick spray. Add potato chips to a ziplock bag and crush them into fine pieces. Season the cod filets with just a touch of salt (not too much, the chips are salty) and black pepper. Dip each filet in the egg white (I use only egg white as I feel that whole eggs make the delicate fish taste too "eggy") then dredge through potato chips mixture, pressing so the chips stick. Lay on the wire rack and spray each filet with non-stick spray or olive oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until fish is golden brown.
Tips:
- Select the Right Fish: Choose a firm-fleshed fish like cod, tilapia, or catfish for best results.
- Use a Light Batter: A light batter made with flour, cornstarch, and seasonings helps the fish crisp up without becoming heavy.
- Don't Overcrowd the Baking Sheet: Leave some space between the fish pieces to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before adding the fish to ensure it cooks evenly.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the fish until it's golden brown and flaky, about 10-12 minutes per side.
- Serve with Dipping Sauce: Serve the crispy oven-fried fish with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, lemon juice, or ranch dressing.
