Toppits

What You Need:

• 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 4 Toppits Blue Cod Fillets, 6-8 oz each
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 6 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500°F.  Combine bread crumbs, cornmeal, salt, and cayenne in a large sealable plastic bag and shake to mix.  Season fish with salt and pepper on both sides.  Working with 1 piece at a time, put fish in bag with bread crumb mixtures, and shake well to coat.  Dip fish in eggs, then shake in crumbs again to coat.  Heat 3 tbsp oil in a heavy ovenproof skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry fish until undersides are golden brown, about 1 minute.  Turn over, add remaining 3 tbsp oil, and cook 1 minute more. Put skillet in upper third of oven and bake until fish is just cooked through, about 5 minutes.   Serves 4.
