Crispy Lemon Cod Recipe
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 egg whites
2 cups Panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1-1/2 lbs. cod fish fillets
kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
.
For Lemon Butter Sauce:
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Preparation:
Heat butter and olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
Beat egg whites. Spread out Panko in a thin layer in a shallow dish.
Dip cod first in the egg whites, then in the Panko, pressing lightly to help the bread crumbs adhere. Season with salt and pepper.
Saute in the butter-olive oil mixture until golden, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until cooked through — fish will be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
To make the lemon butter sauce: Heat lemon juice and vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, until the mixture is reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Stir in butter and salt.
Spoon over crispy cod fish fillets.
