Falafel Fish With Israeli Salad
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
- 1 tomato (about 8 oz.), chopped
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1/2 orange bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus more leaves for topping
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup (3 oz.) falafel mix*
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz. each)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- Lemon wedges (optional)
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0. Combine cucumber, tomato, bell peppers, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Mix falafel mix, cumin, and cayenne in a shallow bowl. Crack eggs into a second bowl and beat lightly. Dip fish fillets into egg, coating evenly, then into fa-lafel mix, also coating evenly; set on a plate.
- Heat vegetable oil in an oven-proof frying pan over high heat. When oil begins to ripple, add fish and cook until crust is golden brown and crisp, turning once, about 3 minutes. Transfer pan to oven and roast fish until opaque in the center (cut one to check), 5 to 7 minutes.
- Divide salad among four plates. Top each with a piece of fish and a few parsley leaves. Serve with lemon wedges if you like.
- *Find falafel mix in the international section of well-stocked grocery stores.
