Crunchy Panko-Crusted Cod
- 1/4 cups Flour (unbleached Or All-purpose)
- 1 whole Egg, Lightly Beaten
- 3/4 cups Panko Bread Crumbs
- 1/2 cups Olive Oil, Or Enough To Cover The Bottom Of A Large Pan
- 1 pound Cod Fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper, Ground
- Lay out the flour, beaten egg and Panko breadcrumbs in three (3) separate plates, or shallow pans.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat.
- This should only take a few minutes.
- Make sure to watch the pan and be careful not to burn the oil.
- Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper.
- Dip the seasoned fish fillets in the flour, then in the egg and then press the fish into the Panko breadcrumbs, coating the fish evenly on all sides.
- Place the fish carefully into the hot pan and reduce the heat to medium, but keep it at a sizzle.
- Note: When the first side is nicely browned (about 23 minutes) and the fish is turned over, you may need to reduce the heat to low, but keep the pan at a sizzle.
- Reducing the heat will avoid the fish from burning, and will cook it evenly all the way through.
- When both sides are evenly browned, remove the fish from the hot oil and serve immediately.
