How To MakeDiet Type: Paleo
Shopping List
- 2 (5 ounce) fillets cod (fresh or defrosted)
- 1 cup salted plantain chips
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- avocado oil or grapeseed oil, for frying
- lemon juice, for serving
Instructions
- Step 1: Place the plantain chips in a food processor and pulse until broken down into a flour consistency. It should make about 1/2 cup of crumbs.
- Step 2: Stir together the plantain crumbs and optional cayenne. Pour the crumbs onto a plate. Separately, whisk the egg in a bowl. Prepare your assembly line: egg in bowl, crumb plate, and a clean plate.
- Step 3: Rinse the cod and pat dry very well. Dredge the fillets in the egg wash, covering the entire fillet. Let the excess egg drip off before transferring to the crumb plate. Cover the cod completely in the crumbs, patting down well on all sides to stick. Transfer to a clean plate.
- Step 4: Heat a large skillet with a thin layer of oil over medium-high heat. Once a drop of water sizzles on contact with the oil, transfer the cod fillets to the skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Flip carefully so as to not lose any crispy breading. The fish will be ready when it is golden, crispy, and flakes easily. If it is browning too quickly, turn the heat down slightly.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately with a squeeze of lemon on top. This is amazing in Crispy Fish Tacos.
