Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ cup milk

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 4 (3 ounce) fillets cod

  • 1 cup oil for frying

  • ⅓ cup cornmeal

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Combine milk and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Add cod fillets and soak for 5 minutes.

  3. Heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat.

  4. Mix cornmeal and flour together in a shallow bowl. Season with paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, thyme, and cayenne pepper. Dredge cod fillets in cornmeal mixture to coat both sides.
