Crispy Cod

This recipe was given to me by Rauchel McDaniel.  It's a fantastic cod recipe.  It's a once a week meal at my home.


The recipe calls for a Corn Flakes as the breading to cut calories. I've tried it with Chickpea Flour and Almond Flour as the breading.  Both ways gave it different flavors and both were amazing.  

Canola or Olive Oil cooking spray
1 1/2 to 2 cups cornflakes (finely crushed, I use my vitamix to do this)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (omit if giving it to little ones and use paprika instead)
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 to 4 egg whites, beaten
2 pound cod or haddock, cut into 4oz portions (business costco has frozen 4oz cod loins)

Preheat oven to 425F.  Line a large baking sheet with foil and a wire. Transfer cornflakes to a shallow dish and add cayenne and black pepper.  Add egg whites in a third shallow dish and beat until fluffy.  Dredge fish in egg white and then coat all sides with the ground cornflakes mixture.  Place on the prepared wire rack.  Coat both sides of the breaded fish with cooking spray.  Bake until opaque in the center and the breading is golden brown and crisp, about 20-25 mintues.

Serves 4.
