Battered fish doesn’t get much easier than this. If you’re looking for a quick protein to put on the table, fried cod is the way to go. The Cajun spice gives the batter a little kick without making it overly spicy, making it a tasty dinner for eaters of all ages.

Ingredients

  • Extra light olive oil or canola oil
  • 1 lb cod fillets (make sure they are boneless)
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet, add oil to about 1/4 inch depth. Turn the burner on to just below medium and heat the oil.

  2. 2

    Rinse the cod fillets and set aside. Stir together the flour, Cajun seasoning, salt and sesame seeds. Place on a large plate or a large flat-bottomed bowl. Put the egg in a second bowl or plate.

  3. 3

    Dredge each cod fillet in flour, then egg, then flour again. Repeat until all of the fillets are coated. Add to the hot oil. Cook until golden on both sides, and opaque throughout inside (about 10 minutes total).
