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!
Tips:
- To ensure crispy cod, use pieces of similar thickness, about 1 inch thick.
- Pat the cod dry before coating to help the coating adhere.
- Use a light hand when coating the cod in the flour mixture to avoid a thick, clumpy coating.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; this will prevent the cod from cooking evenly.
- Bake the cod for 10-12 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the cod immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or lemon wedges.
Conclusion:
This crispy oven-fried cod is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried fish. It's easy to make and can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a party, this recipe is sure to please.
