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. 1 Rinse cod filets with water. Pat fish dry.
2. 2 Place lime juice in a shallow bowl. Whisk cornmeal, flour, salt, and pepper together in a separate shallow bowl.
3. 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. 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. 5 Remove fish to a wire rack set over a drip tray to catch any excess oil. Serve immediately.
