Crispy Fried Fish Burger Recipe

all-purpose flour

panko bread crumbs

salt (divided)

black pepper

onion powder

paprika

thyme

cayenne pepper

garlic powder

cod fillet (two (4-ounce) pieces)

canola oil

burger buns (cut in half horizontally (if not already precut))

mayonnaise

kosher dill pickle (minced (about 3 tablespoons))

chives

dill (dill weed)

salt

lemon juice

cabbage

carrot

chili pepper

onion

cider vinegar (or regular white vinegar)

sugar

Iceberg Lettuce (or your favourite variety)

Pickle (sliced)

Tomato (sliced)

Hot sauce

Get your dredging station ready: Sift flour onto a plate and spread out. To another plate, add panko, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, onion powder, paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder, whisking to combine. In a bowl, whisk egg. Set aside.

Cut cod into two equal pieces and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Dredge each piece of cod in flour, coating all around, shaking off excess.

Then, dip cod into whisked egg, shaking off excess

Finally, dredge cod in panko bread crumbs, coating all around, pressing to adhere. You can place on a plate while you are getting your oil ready.

Place the canola or vegetable oil into a large, heavy-duty pot with high/tall sides suitable for frying (I used a high sided cast-iron pot).Note: Use enough oil to come up to 2 inches up the side of the pot. To monitor your oil temperature, a candy and deep-fry thermometer clipped to the side of the pot (with the tip submerged in the oil) is a great tool to use.

Heat the pot of oil over medium heat. You want an oil temperature of about 360 degrees Fahrenheit.Note: Oil may drop in temperature when fish is placed in there, but try to keep it around that temperature.

Gently lower each piece of cod into the oil, away from you, and cook 3 minutes. Carefully turn the cod pieces and continue to cook for another 3 minutes or until cod is cooked through, is opaque, and flakes easily with a fork (insert the tines of a fork into the thickest part of the fish at an angle and twist gently; it should flake easily). Note: Depending on the thickness of the cod pieces, you may have to cook longer. 

When cooked, carefully remove cod from the oil (a spider strainer works great for removing the cooked cod).Optional: Place cod on a cooling rack over a baking sheet to drain of any excess grease for a minute or two, if necessary (though, mine weren&#039;t greasy).

Sprinkle cod with additional salt (if desired).

Assemble fish burgers: toast buns (if you like), spread the cut side of each bun with tartar sauce, place piece of fish on bottom buns, top with coleslaw (and any of the other garnish options (if you like), and place top buns over top (with tartar sauce on the inside) to form your fish burgers. Serve and enjoy!

Pan Fried Cod Fish Recipe

tsp salt

some pepper

tbsp plain flour

olive oil or canola oil

Wash your fresh or thawed fillets under current cold water and dry them with a paper towel.

Heat oil in a frying pan. (The pan should be really hot)

Mix flour with salt and pepper on a plate.

Once the pan is almost hot, turn the cod in the flour mixture and tap the excess off. (It should be just a light dusting of flour!)

Fry cod in hot oil at medium heat until golden &#8211; 2-4 minutes per side. (Resist the temptation to move it and turn it only one time to prevent fish from falling apart)

Great recipe! I love to use cod in soups and stews - love a good fish chowder!

This cod recipe looks so tender and  Juicy and definitely delicious. I don’t really like fish ( weird I know) but this cod makes me want to dig in.

I have to try this! Looks amazing! Perfect. This is a great idea. Thank you for sharing this great recipe.

I actually have fish on the menu for dinner tonight! I appreciate all the tips you gave, especially adding lemon juice to the oil before cooking.

Thank you for sharing!  I used arrowroot powder in place of the flour and zested half an orange I had left from another recipe.  It was delicious!

I love your easy oven baked cod recipe. Thank you for the inspiration, will give it soon a try. I think its even lower in fat and must taste delicious with the white wine base.

This is perfect! Simple is best with fish I think. I love the idea of adding lemon to the oil, will have to try that. Great post.
