CORN CEREAL CRUSTED FRIED FISH



Corn Cereal Crusted Fried Fish image

Corn cereal is slightly sweet and extra crunchy, which holds up well to the walleye-a mild flaky whitefish common in the upper Midwest-though feel free to sub out any mild flaky whitefish. The smokiness and tanginess of the tartar sauce balances all the flavors out.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup (120 grams) mayonnaise
1/3 cup (65 grams) Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons (56 grams) sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch ground cayenne
5 cups (140 grams) corn cereal flakes
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more for seasoning
1 1/4 pounds walleye fillets, cut into 8 to 12 pieces (about 4 fillets; depending on size)
Neutral oil, as needed
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the tartar sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, yogurt, relish, mustard, parsley, smoked paprika, garlic powder and cayenne and stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (Makes about 1 cup.)
  • For the fish: Put the corn cereal flakes in a large resealable plastic bag. Crush with your hands or a rolling pin to make medium size crumbs (the mixture should be a little finer than oatmeal). Pour into a shallow bowl and stir in the paprika. Spread the flour in a second bowl and beat the eggs in a third bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • Season the fish all over with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt. Dredge in the flour, then the eggs, then roll in the cereal crumbs, patting them on to coat evenly.
  • Heat about 1/2 inch of neutral oil in a large skillet (cast iron or otherwise) over medium heat. The oil is ready when a cereal crumb sizzles on contact. Standing a safe distance away from the stovetop, slide the breaded fish into the oil and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook the second side until golden, 2 to 3 minutes more. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. Serve hot with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges. The fish is best eaten right away but leftover tartar sauce will keep, covered, in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

CORNFLAKE CRUSTED COD



Cornflake Crusted Cod image

Another simple fish recipe with what I had in my kitchen. This turned out so yummy. Next time, I have to put the cornflakes in the food processor to chop up finer.

Provided by Kimberly Biegacki

Categories     Fish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slice cod
1 c corn flakes, crushed
1 - 2 Tbsp onion, minced
1/4 c butter, approx
1 c buttermilk
1 1/2 tsp lemon pepper
salt

Steps:

  • 1. Crush your cornflakes (better than I did), add minced onion and melted butter. Set aside.
  • 2. seasonings
  • 3. Season fish with salt and pepper and then with the lemon citrus peel
  • 4. Pat your cornflake mixture to the top of fish.
  • 5. Fish out of oven and ready to plate.
  • 6. Cornflake Crusted Cod over a bed of grain rice with side of steamed broccoli & cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh cod fillets: Look for fillets that are firm, opaque, and have a mild, fresh scent. Avoid fillets that are discolored or have an off odor.
  • Dry the cod fillets thoroughly before coating them: This will help the coating adhere better and prevent the fish from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light hand when coating the fish: Don't press the coating too hard into the fish, or it will become tough.
  • Cook the fish until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork: Depending on the thickness of the fillets, this will take about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides: Cornflake-crusted cod pairs well with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Cornflake-crusted cod is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The crispy cornflake coating adds a delightful crunch to the flaky fish, and the lemon-herb butter sauce adds a bright, flavorful touch. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice, for a complete and satisfying meal.
