Crispy Cod With Sage Butter Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh parsley.
• STEP 2.Dip each cod fillet into beaten egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
• STEP 3.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated cod fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
• STEP 4.In a separate small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add fresh sage leaves and cook until the butter is infused with the sage flavor.
• STEP 5.Serve the crispy cod fillets drizzled with the sage butter sauce and garnish with additional fresh sage leaves, if desired.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels before coating them with the breadcrumb mixture. This will help the breadcrumbs adhere better.
• For an extra crispy crust, you can double coat the cod fillets by dipping them in the beaten egg and breadcrumb mixture twice.
• If you don't have fresh sage, you can substitute it with dried sage, but use half the amount as dried sage is more potent in flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover crispy cod can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the cod fillets on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the crispy cod with sage butter alongside steamed vegetables and roasted potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
