Tips:
- Use fresh cod fillets. Fresh cod has a mild, flaky flavor that pairs well with the spicy cornmeal coating.
- Make sure the cod fillets are dry before coating them. This will help the cornmeal coating adhere to the fish.
- Use a light hand when coating the cod fillets in cornmeal. Too much cornmeal will make the coating thick and heavy.
- Fry the cod fillets in hot oil. This will help create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish.
- Serve the cod fillets with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include tartar sauce, remoulade, or ranch dressing.
Conclusion:
Spicy cornmeal cod is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cornmeal coating gives the fish a crispy crust, while the cayenne pepper adds a touch of heat. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
