Ingredients
4 Cod Fillets, With No Skin
Cracker Meal
3 Tablespoons of Vegetable or Olive Oil
1 Lemon
1 Cup Milk
1/2 tsp. Salt to Taste
1/2 tsp. Pepper to Taste
Directions
- Begin by heating a non-stick skillet with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil or olive oil of your choice over medium-high heat. Cut cod into filet-sized pieces of around 170 g (6 oz. each) if not already done. You may also cut into smaller sized portions if desired. Rinse cod under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Season the fish with salt and pepper on each side to taste.
- Pour 1 cup of milk into a shallow bowl and cracker meal into an additional shallow bowl.
- Dip each piece of cod into the milk and gently shake off extra liquid.
- Dip cod into cracker meal mixture, ensuring that all sides are covered with this crust.
- Place cod onto clean plate while each additional piece is breaded. Season each side with salt and pepper again if desired.
- Place cod into pre-heated skillet filled with oil and pan-fry on each side for about 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked all the way through. Remove fish from skillet and place on paper towel-covered plate to absorb excess oil.
- Once cooled, top the fish with squeezed lemon juice or serve with lemon on the side.
- Serve this delicious dish with your favorite potato chips or prepare freshly cooked fries as desired.
