PAN FRIED FISH

Steps:

PAN-FRIED COD WITH CHAMP

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling water until tender, about 10-15 mins. Meanwhile, chop the spring onions, separating the green part from the white.
• Lay the cod on a piece of kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture. Heat a frying pan to a high heat, add the oil, then the fish, skin side down. Don't move the pan or even shake it as this will tear the skin. Cook for 4-5 mins until the edges start to colour. Turn the fish over and cook for a further 3-4 mins.
• Bring the cream and milk to the boil in a pan with the butter, then add the chopped white part of the onions, simmer for a few minutes, then season, if you want to. Mash the potatoes and mix in the hot cream and milk and half the chopped green part of the spring onions. Sprinkle the rest over the mash. Serve with the fish, pouring over any pan juices.

PAN FRIED COD

Steps:

• Pat the cod fillets very dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil a 10-inch or similar cast-iron or heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shiny (but not yet smoking), gently lower the fish into the oil, moving away from your body with your motion in case the oil splatters. Lower the heat to medium.
• Let the fish cook undisturbed on the first side for 2 to 3 minutes, until the underside is nicely golden.
• Gently flip the cod over. A flexible, thin metal spatula (such as a fish spatula) works best. The cod might stick a bit at first, but work gently and firmly and you'll get it. Place the butter in the pan. With a spoon, spread the pat around the fish. Tilt the pan away from you so that the butter pools, then baste the fish with the butter a few times.
• Continue cooking on the other side until the fish is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches 145 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, about 2 additional minutes.
• Sprinkle with fresh herbs and squeeze the lemon over the top. Enjoy immediately, with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.

PAN-FRIED COD WITH SLAW

• Prep the fish: In a medium bowl, whisk egg & milk, add the fish. Let the fish soak in the milk while you prepare the breading. On a plate, mix the flour, breading, cayenne pepper, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• To cook: Heat about an inch of oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Coat the fish in the flour, a nice even coating. Carefully lower the fish into the skillet and fry it until its nice and golden 2 to 4 minutes per side. The fish should break apart easily yet still be moist. Place finished fish on a paper towel lined plate to drain and then for more flavor, season with more salt and pepper.

BREADED PAN-FRIED COD RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the tartar sauce by combining mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, relish, chopped fresh dill, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, and salt in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To make the breading, combine panko breadcrumbs, celery salt, paprika, cayenne, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
• Crack an egg into a bowl and beat.
• Set up a breading station with four bowls in this order: bowl holding cod, bowl holding flour, bowl holding beaten egg, and bowl of breading.
• Working with one piece of cod at a time, dredge the cod in flour, then coat the cod in egg, and finally thoroughly coat the cod in the seasoned breadcrumbs. Repeat until all of the cod is breaded.
• Heat a 10 or 12-inch nonstick pan on medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the cod spaced evenly in the pan. Pan fry for 5 minutes. Rotate each piece of cod 180 degrees ½ way through to evenly brown the top.
• After 5 minutes flip the cod, and set heat to medium-low. Pan fry for another 5 minutes, once again rotating the cod ½ way through to evenly brown the bottom.
• Serve immediately with a side of tartar sauce.

PAN-SEARED COD

Steps:

• Salt the blocks of fish well and set in the refrigerator for one hour.
• Get your pan hot over a high heat burner, about 2 minutes. While this is happening, pat the fish dry with paper towels. Make sure it's dry. Add the tablespoon of oil and swirl it around. It will heat up very fast.
• As soon as you see a wisp of smoke coming from the oil, lay the fish pieces down in the pan, well spaced, skin side down (or the side where the skin used to be). Turn the heat down to medium-high and let them cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes, or until you see the bottom starting to caramelize. Using a thin metal spatula, ideally a fish spatula, carefully try to lift the fish from the pan. It should come up easily, or stick in only one or two spots. If not, keep cooking it -- the fish will release when it's ready.
• When that happens, add the butter, and once it melts, drop the heat all the way to low. Use a spoon to baste the butter over the pieces of fish until they turn opaque. You will need to tilt the pan to do this properly. Serve the fish seared side up.
