DELICIOUS OVEN FRIED COD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Line a shallow baking pan with foil. Spray with non stick cooking spray or wipe with oil, as so fish won't stick. In a shallow dish, add seasonings, corn meal, cheese and stir to combine.
• 2. Dip each piece of fish into the milk, let excess drip off. Press each side into the crumbs ( making sure well coated.)
• 3. Place on sheet pan. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until nice and golden and fish is flaky. If using bigger pieces of fish, you may need to increase breading ingredients and baking time.
• 4. Serve with lemon and tarter sauce. Enjoy!

BONNIE'S CRISPY OVEN-FRIED COD FISH

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!

BAKED PANKO AND PARMESAN ENCRUSTED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Dry cod fillets well with a paper towel (If using frozen fillets, make sure to thaw it completely by submerging the cod in a vacuumed sealed bag with cold water).
• Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Use half of the mix to season the cod fillets on both sides evenly. Save the remaining for the breadcrumb mixture.
• To toast the panko, pour oil over the breadcrumbs and mix well, breaking up any clumps. Spread evenly onto a baking sheet and bake for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden and crunchy.
• Remove panko from the oven and pour it into a shallow dish. Let it cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining seasoning mixture and parmesan cheese. Mix well.
• Dredge seasoned cod fillet into the whisked egg, shaking off any excess. Then place the fillet into the panko mixture, pressing firmly on all sides for the crumbs to stick on.
• Place the breaded cod onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
• Bake for 10 minutes, or until internal temperature of the fish reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Garnish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon with side of tartar sauce!

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.

Add bread crumbs, stir to coat with butter, then cook, stirring frequently, until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley and lemon zest. Let cool.

• Transfer baking sheet to oen and bake until fish is no longer translucent (cut to test) and flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes. If crumbs aren't sufficiently browned, broil fish 2 inches from heating element until crumbs are crisp and dark golden brown (watching carefully to prevent burning), 2 minutes longer. Serve immediately.
