Pan Fried Haddock (or Cod)
- 2 whole Fillet Of Haddock Or Cod
- 3/4 cups Instant Pancake Mix (from A Box)
- 1 whole Egg, Beaten
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 18 teaspoons Fresh Ground Pepper
- 13 teaspoons Salt
- Heat your oven to 200F, and put a baking sheet inside.
- Youll use this to put the cooked haddock in to keep warm after frying.
- Prepare your haddock fillets by cutting each of them in two.
- Sprinkle the pancake mix from the box onto a big plate and have it handy to your stove.
- You dont need to prepare it as per the box directions; you just need the dry stuff.
- Set your beaten egg in a bowl next to the pancake mix, handy to your stove.
- Get a non-stick frying pan and set it on the stovetop.
- Set the temperature to Medium-High.
- Once its heated up, throw a generous dollop of butter into the pan.
- Dip a piece of haddock into the egg, flip, and ensure its covered with egg.
- Then, dip the haddock in the pancake mix.
- Make sure its nicely covered, then place into the frying pan along with the melted bubbling butter.
- You should be able to fit another fillet or two into the pan.
- Get those in, then wait.
- Youre only going to flip the fillet ONCE while cooking it.
- The key to pan frying fish is to not bother it too much while its cooking.
- Watch the fillet, and when it looks like its losing its translucence and turning opaque, sprinkle some ground pepper and salt on it, and then flip it in the pan.
- After the flip, sprinkle a bit more pepper and salt.
- Also, you may need to add a bit of additional butter to make sure it fries nicely.
- Each fillet should take approximately 4 minutes to cook (on both sides).
- Once its cooked, transfer it from the skillet to the pan that you have waiting in the oven.
- Then, add butter to the skillet again, dip your fillets in egg and pancake batter, and repeat the process.
- Once all of the fillets are done, they are ready to serve.
- Bon appetit!
