CRISPY OVEN-FRIED COD FISH



Crispy Oven-Fried Cod Fish image

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



BONNIE'S CRISPY OVEN-FRIED COD FISH image

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....

Categories     Fish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cod fish fillets
about 7 tablespoons corn oil for frying
DRY MIX IN SHALLOW BOWL #1
1 1/2 cups dry panko breadcrumbs.
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
WET MIX IN SHALLOW BOWL #2
3 large eggs slightly beaten

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:

  • For the best results, use fresh cod fillets. If using frozen cod, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Make sure the cod fillets are dry before coating them in the batter. This will help the batter adhere better.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the cod. This will cause the fish to steam instead of fry, resulting in a soggy texture.
  • Fry the cod in hot oil. This will help create a crispy crust and prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the cod until it is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. This will ensure that the fish is cooked through without being overcooked.
  • Serve the fried cod immediately with your favorite sides, such as tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Fried cod is a classic dish that is easy to make and delicious. By following these tips, you can make sure that your fried cod turns out perfect every time. Whether you are serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, fried cod is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
