For the Salad

Method

Prepare the Crispy Cod

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Cod

    Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Spicy Aioli

  1. 4

    Mix the Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha if desired. Set aside.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, toss the arugula and sliced tomatoes together. You may add a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors, if desired.

Plate the Dish

  1. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, serve a generous portion of the salad topped with the crispy cod fillets. Drizzle with spicy aioli over the cod and salad for an extra kick.
