Best 6 Crispy Cod Fillets Recipes

CRISPY LEMON CODFISH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large nonstick frying pan , heat butter and olive oil over medium heat.
• Set up a breading station with two shallow dishes. Beat the egg whites and set them in one dish. Spread out panko breadcrumbs in a thin layer in another shallow dish.
• Dip the cod first in the egg whites, then in the panko, pressing lightly to help the breadcrumbs adhere. Season with salt and pepper.
• Sauté the coated fillets in the butter-olive oil mixture until golden, about 3 minutes.
• Flip and cook on the other side until cooked through. The fish will be opaque and flake easily with a fork. If using an instant-read or meat thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 145 F.
• In a small saucepan, heat the lemon juice and vinegar over medium-low heat until the mixture is reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
• Stir in butter and salt.
• Drizzle sauce lightly over the crispy codfish fillets. Serve and enjoy!

CRISPY BAKED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Add the butter to an 11 x 7-inch baking dish (or another similar size dish that easily holds all of your fillets). Place the dish in the hot oven, just until the butter melts (it will only take a few minutes).
• In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornmeal, seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture to coat on all sides, shake off excess breading, and place in the hot dish. Very carefully turn the fish to coat with butter. You can also use a spoon to drizzle the melted butter over the top of the fish.
• Bake for 7-8 minutes. Turn the broiler to HIGH and broil the fish for 1-2 more minutes, until the top of the fish is crispy and flakes easily with a fork. Keep a close eye on the fish while it's under the broiler to make sure that it doesn't burn.
• Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish and sprinkle with parsley just before serving.
