Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cod

    Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Stations

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first, whisk the eggs in the second, and the panko breadcrumbs in the third.

Breading

  1. 3

    Bread the Cod

    Take each seasoned cod fillet and coat it in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the whisked eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Cook the Cod

    Carefully place the breaded cod fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and the cod is cooked through.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Cod

    Once cooked, remove the cod from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
