Crispy Cod
Serves 2 Time: 25 minutes Difficulty: Intermediate
Ingredients
- 2 fresh cod loin pieces
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 ½ teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 bunch curly parsley, chopped
- 1 ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- Salted butter
- Vegetable oil, for the griddle
Directions
-
Rinse cod and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside on paper towels to absorb any extra liquid while preparing your sauce.
-
Put panko breadcrumbs onto a plate and set aside.
-
For the sauce, whisk together the mayo, lemon, garlic, parsley, and old bay rub. (Note: if using regular old bay start with 1 teaspoon and check flavors, the rub is less salty and has a touch of brown sugar.)
-
Take half of your sauce and brush a thick layer all over the cod. Place cod into the panko and with your hands gently press the bread crumbs to evenly coat all sides.
-
Heat the Blackstone Griddle to medium to medium/low heat and place 1 tablespoon each oil and butter to melt together.
-
Gently place your cod for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, turning once. Add more butter and oil to cook the other side.
-
Your Blackstone basting dome can be used after the first flip for 3 minutes, letting the fish finish cooking uncovered.
-
Serve fish with the reserved sauce, lemon wedge and garnish with parsley. Serve as is, over a salad, tacos or as a sandwich in your favorite bread.
