Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, mix flour, panko, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Beat the Eggs
In a separate dish, whisk the eggs until smooth.
Bread the Fillets
Dredge each cod fillet in the flour mixture, dip in egg, then coat again in the flour mixture for a crisp finish.
Fry the Cod
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry fillets for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3: Serve It Up
Arrange cod fillets and onion rings on a large platter.
Serve with tartar sauce, ketchup, or aioli for dipping.
Garnish with lemon wedges or fresh herbs if desired.
💡 Tips for Success
Keep the Oil Hot: Maintain 350°F for optimal crispiness. Cooler oil leads to soggy results.
Double-Coat for Crunch: Onion rings benefit from a second dip in buttermilk and flour mixture.
Hold Warm in the Oven: Keep finished items warm in a 200°F oven while frying the rest.
