Crispy Cod with Lemon Dill Sauce


Fish is always a better option when comes to eating healthy but most of the time they are a little too light as a meal for dinner..... which I always ended up snacking on something agin before hitting midnight.

So bearing that in mind (to avoid eating twice at night) I have decided to pick Cod fish. They are richer then most fishes and will probably (it did!) able to keep me satisfied till the next morning.

The lemony sauce still linger in my mouth... yummy...

Here's my recipe to share... the recipe serves 2 person

Ingredients:
For the crispy fish
4 (approx. 30 grams each) skinless cod fillet or cutlet
2 egg whites - lightly beaten with folk
1 cup Japanese breadcrumbs (Panko)
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp paprika powder
1 tsp freshly grind black pepper
1 tsp salt  or less
2 tbsp cooking oil
Lemon wedges

For the  sauce
1 tbsp custard powder
2 tbsp gherkins or pickles ( I used dill pickle) - finely chopped 
5 tbsp mayonnaise (I used low fat mayonnaise)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp fresh dill - chopped

Method:
For the crispy fish
1)   Place large skillet at medium high heat.
2)   Place egg whites in a shallow dish.
3)   Combine Japanese breadcrumbs, garlic powder and  paprika in a large plate. 
4)   Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper evenly.
5)   Dip each fillet into the egg white and then press to cover with the Japanese breadcrumbs mixture.
6)   Fry fillet on the skillet for approx. 4-5 minutes on each side or until done. Fry for longer if your fish is thickly sliced . Drain with kitchen towels and set aside with lemon wedges.

For the sauce
i)    Mix lemon juice, gherkins and dill. Serve with with fish.

>> Tips to note : 
- You may substitute cod with other firm fish such as halibut or lemon sole.

  10. Looks so yummy! We love cod, but to feed a family of four is extremely expensive! Especially when everyone loves cod, a slice is definitely not enough!
