Weight Loss Approved Cod Recipe Recipe 455

Steps:

• Phase #1: Take out a bowl and combine two tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese, one teaspoon of olive oil, one eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder, one tablespoon of cornmeal, one eighth of a teaspoon of black pepper and half a teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Optional: If you would like to add some extra flavour, stir in a quarter cup of dry bread crumbs. Phase #2: Take a broiling pan and lightly coat the rack with a cooking spray such as Pam. This is so the cod will not stick to the rack. Situate four three ounce cod fillets on the rack. Gently stir one egg white in a small bowl. Brush the egg white across the top of each cod fillet consistently. From there, add the small bowl of your mixture equally across each cod fillet. Phase #3: Cook in the oven at four hundred and fifty degrees for about ten minutes. You will know when the cod is done by examining the fish with a fork. If it flakes without difficulty, your cod is finished.

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, onion, and bell peppers in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook gently until softened, stirring occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour in ouzo and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing alcohol to evaporate. Add plum tomatoes and lightly crush with the back of a spoon until broken apart. Add water and mint, then season with salt and pepper. Simmer gently until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high. Nestle cod fillets in the sauce and spoon some sauce over top. Cook, turning once halfway through, until fish flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut fillets into serving sizes. Melt butter in sauce pan or microwave. Add lemon juice to melted butter. In another dish, mix together flour, salt & pepper. Dip fish into butter/lemon mix, then lightly coat with the flour mixture, coating well on all sides. Place coated fillets in an ungreased baking dish. Drizzle remaining butter mix over fillets. Sprinkle entire dish with paprika. Bake, uncovered in 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes. Fish should flake easily with a fork. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse bread, melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in food processor until bread is coarsely ground, eight 1-second pulses (you should have about 3 1/2 cups crumbs). Transfer to rimmed baking sheet and bake until deep golden brown and dry, about 15 minutes, stirring twice during baking time. Cool crumbs to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Transfer crumbs to pie plate; toss with parsley and shallot. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Place 1/4 cup flour in second pie plate. In third pie plate, whisk eggs, horseradish (if using), mayonnaise, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until combined; whisk in remaining 5 tablespoons flour until smooth. Spray wire rack with nonstick cooking spray and place in rimmed baking sheet. Dry fish thoroughly with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge 1 fillet in flour; shake off excess. Using hands, coat with egg mixture. Coat all sides of fillet with bread crumb mixture, pressing gently so that thick layer of crumbs adheres to fish. Transfer breaded fish to wire rack. Repeat with remaining 3 fillets. Bake fish until instant-read thermometer inserted into centers of fillets registers 140 degrees, 18 to 25 minutes. Using thin spatula, transfer fillets to individual plates and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees and grease a glass or stone 9×13″ baking dish with clarified butter. Pat the cod fillets dry and season with salt and pepper (I prefer white pepper on fish, but use it sparingly). Place the fillets in the baking dish. In a small bowl toss the cracker crumbs with HALF of the dill and HALF of the parsley. In another small bowl, combine the mayo, mustard, 1 tsp. of the lemon juice, the remaining dill and parsley and the cayenne. Mix well. Spread the mayo mixture on the top of each fillet. Press the crumb mixture into the mayonnaise, making sure they adhere. Bake until the crumbs are golden brown and all but the very center of fish has turned from translucent to opaque, about 15 minutes. Spritz each fillet with remaining lemon juice and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
