Fried Cod

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds cod fish

  (cut into 4 fillets)
• 1 egg
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

  (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  (or to taste)
• oil for fryer

  (I use peanut oil)

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your deep fryer [https://amzn.to/3dDrxn8] to 350°F.
• 2 Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels.
• 3 Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk well. In a second bowl, combine the flour,
  garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• 4 Dip each fish fillet into the egg, letting the excess drip off before
  transferring it to the seasoned flour mixture. Press the fish into the flour
  mixture, then flip to coat the other side. Transfer to a plate.
• 5 Once the oil in your fryer is hot, add the fish fillets in a single layer with a
  little space between them to the fryer basket. You will likely have to work in
  batches.
• 6 Slowly lower the basket into the oil and cover. Fry for 4-5 minutes, depending
  on the thickness of your fillets. Cod is done when it’s golden brown and opaque
  and flaky when cut into.The internal temperature needs to reach 145°F on a meat
  thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest part.
• 7 Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil before serving.
• 8 Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve with a squeeze a lemon or
  cocktail sauce, if you prefer.
