Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
In another shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
Coat each cod fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Finally, press the fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to make sure the coating sticks well.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Working in batches if necessary, place the coated fillets into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the crispy cod fillets.
