Panko Crusted Fish Recipes

PANKO BAKED COD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Pour 2 Tbsp. olive oil onto a large baking sheet and spread the oil evenly over the surface of the pan.
• Completely thaw 2 lbs. of cod fish fillets (if frozen). Once the fish is thawed, pat both sides dry with paper towels. It's important that the fish is patted dry, so that it doesn't become soggy when baked.
• Place the cod fillets on the oiled baking sheet, making sure there is a little room between each one. Measure 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard into a small dish and baste the mustard onto one side of the cod fillets using a basting brush or spread the mustard onto them using the back of a spoon.
• Sprinkle 1/4 tsp. each kosher salt and pepper over the top of the fish fillets.
• Melt 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter. Pour 3/4 gluten free Panko breadcrumbs (or regular Panko breadcrumbs if not gluten free) into a small bowl. Add 2 tsp. each garlic powder and paprika, 1 tsp. Italian seasoning, and 1/4 tsp. each kosher salt and pepper. Stir until the butter is completely incorporated into the breadcrumb mixture.
• Spoon a generous amount of the breadcrumb mixture over the top of each cod fillet and press the breadcrumbs down onto the fish using the back of a spoon. It's fine if some of the breadcrumbs spill out onto the baking sheet.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 14-15 minutes, or until the cod has cooked through.Baking times may vary depending on the thickness of your cod fillets. The best way to tell if cod has finished cooking is to check the internal temperature using a food thermometer. Stick the food thermometer into the thickest part of the fish. The safe internal temperature for cod is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.The cod is done when it is white, flaky, and the breadcrumb topping golden brown.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and serve.
• To Serve: Use a Microplane to zest 1 lemon over the top of the baked cod. Cut the lemon into wedges and squeeze over the top of the fish.

CHEF

Steps:

• 1 Preheat oven to 375°F. 2 Drain thawed fillets and pat dry; arrange on baking pan sprayed lightly with cooking oil. 3 Brush fish fillets lightly with melted butter or olive oil. 4 In small bowl, combine panko, lemon pepper, minced parsley and melted butter and stir until completely blended; spoon evenly over the top side of each fillet. 5 Bake uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily and topping is light golden brown.

PANKO-CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Put flour and eggs into 2 separate dishes. Combine bread crumbs, cilantro, lime zest, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a third dish.
• Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Put 1 fillet in flour, coat both sides, and gently shake off excess. Dip into eggs, turning once, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture to coat. Repeat with remaining fillets.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place fillets in the skillet and cook until crust is golden and fish is easy to lift with a spatula, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until fish flakes easily with a fork, another 3 to 4 minutes.

PANKO-CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• In a small bowl, mix together the panko, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
• Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on a board. Generously brush the top of the fillets with mustard and then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Press the panko mixture thickly on top of the mustard on each salmon fillet. The mustard will help the panko adhere.
• Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or large heavy, ovenproof pan. When the oil is very hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, without turning, to brown the skin.
• Transfer the pan to the hot oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the salmon is almost cooked and the panko is browned. Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the salmon hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

PANKO-CRUSTED FISH

• Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat.
• Season fish with essence.
• Salt and pepper.
• Put flour in shallow dish. Set aside.

• Place bread crumbs in 3rd shallow dish.

• Fry fish in hot oil until golden brown; about 2-3 minutes on first side and 1-2 minutes on second side.
