Crispy cornmeal-crusted cod takes a quick dip in lime juice for extra flavor before pan frying. Is there really anything better than fried fish?

Ingredients

12 cods filets
0.25 cups lime juice
0.67 cups cornmeal
0.67 cups all-purpose flour
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
0.5 cups olive oil
0.25 cups butter

Instructions

1

Rinse cod filets with water. Pat fish dry.
2

Place lime juice in a shallow bowl. Whisk cornmeal, flour, salt, and pepper together in a separate shallow bowl.
3

Heat oil and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Using tongs, dip cod into lime juice; allow excess to drip off. Press fish into cornmeal mixture to coat on all sides; set aside on a plate.
4

Fry cod in the hot skillet until crispy golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and fry until fish flakes easily with a fork and is golden brown on the other side; about 1 minute more. Cooking time will depend on thickness of filets. You may have to fry in batches.
5

Remove fish to a wire rack set over a drip tray to catch any excess oil. Serve immediately.
