Crunchy Cod
 |
Does anyone else make 2 or more meals at dinner time? I feel like I shouldn't deprive or limit what my husband eats just because I don't eat meat and am allergic to fish...so I find myself making him some type of meat/fish dinner, and making myself something different. I know that this 'aiming to please' attitude will kill me when I have children!
So, I am allergic to fish, and my husband decides that he wants to try out some cod because it was on sale at the fish counter. I decide that we can totally cook this dish along with some nice roasted potatoes and that it would be a meal that my husband would love! The only catch is, I cannot even touch fish! I decided that this would be a good time to instruct my husband on how to make something delicious, and to see how well I can teach someone how to cook.
According to him, this meal was just wonderful, so I hope that everyone else enjoys it too. It seems to be a healthy meal, because Cod is a healthy protein and although its breaded, its baked and not fried.
Ingredients:
Cod fillet, cut into about 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup flour
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 tsp milk
TIP: The best way to get breaded items crunchy in the oven is to put a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet, this will allow the heat to get all the way around the items that you are cooking.
Pre-heat oven to 425. Set up 3 stations. 1 with the flour, 1 with the bread crumbs, and 1 with the egg and milk. (Beat the egg and milk together). Take the pieces of fish and dredge it in the flour, then the egg, and then the bread crumbs. Make sure to coat each piece thoroughly! Place breaded fish onto the cooling rack. Once all the fish is breaded, place in the oven for 15-20 minutes. You can serve this with any type of dipping sauce that you like, like tarter sauce, etc.
