1. 1

   Prepare the Cod

   Rinse the wild Atlantic cod fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

   Set Up Breading Station

   In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third.

   Bread the Cod

   First, dredge each cod fillet in flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Set aside.

   Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

   Fry the Cod

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded cod fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

   Sauté Broccoli Rabe

   In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed and sauté the cooked broccoli rabe for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
