Enjoy these crispy cod bites with a zesty twist, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Cut the cod fillets into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Cutting the fish into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
Place the flour in one shallow pan, whisk the eggs and milk together in another, and mix the breadcrumbs with lemon zest in a third pan.
Adding lemon zest to the breadcrumbs gives a fresh flavor to the coating.
Dredge each piece of cod in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Pressing the breadcrumbs onto the fish ensures a crispy coating.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded cod pieces in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to maintain the oil temperature.
Transfer the cooked cod pieces to a paper towel-lined sheet pan to drain excess oil.
Draining on paper towels keeps the coating crisp.
Serve the crispy cod bites warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of lemon.
Serving immediately ensures the coating stays crispy.
