Provided by wikiHow

Categories     Fish and Seafood

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cod fillets (total of 1 lb. or 450 g)
1/4 c. (59 ml) milk
1/2 c. (30 g) cornmeal
1 tsp. (4.7 g) black pepper
1 tsp. (4.7 g) salt
2 tbs. (30 ml) vegetable oil
Half juiced lemon
4 sprigs parsley
1 tsp. (4.7 g) chili powder (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the cod fillets. Rinse them under running water for a few minutes and pat them dry with a paper towel to absorb any excess water.
  • Pour the milk into a shallow dish.
  • Soak the fillets in the milk for 15 minutes. The milk takes away strong "fishy" odors.
  • Combine the cornmeal, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. You can transfer the seasoned meal to a plate if you don't have a suitable bowl. It's easier to coat the fillets with the cornmeal in a shallow bowl or a plate.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat for about 3 minutes.
  • Dredge the milk-soaked fillets in the seasoned cornmeal. Turn them over several times so that each side is completely coated with the cornmeal.
  • Fry the fillets for 5 minutes on each side.
  • Transfer the fillets to a serving platter.
  • Drizzle with lemon juice.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy.

Mash the ingredients all together with a hand masher until they are all thoroughly combined. Serve with the fish and vegetables.

Reserve the pan of bacon grease and add in the diced red pepper, green pepper, onion, parsley, and garlic. Saute the vegetables in the bacon grease with hot pepper sauce until they are tender. Add the bread crumbs to the pan and thoroughly combine all of the ingredients.

  • Choose the freshest scrod you can find. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has clear, bright eyes. Avoid any fish that has a slimy or dull appearance.
  • Cook scrod within a day or two of purchasing it. Fresh scrod has a mild, delicate flavor that is best enjoyed when cooked soon after it is caught.
