Cornflake-Crusted Baked Cod Recipe

Description

Kids love fish sticks, but they're not exactly the most glamorous of dinners. Enter this cornflake-crusted cod—it's close enough to those beloved fish sticks that children won't turn their noses up at them, but still a bit more grown-up in flavor and texture.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound cod fillets
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 large egg
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Gather your ingredients and preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over a baking sheet.
  3. In one bowl, combine the cornflakes and melted butter. In another bowl, combine the mustard, egg, and salt and pepper, and mix it together thoroughly.
  4. Dip each cod fillet in the egg mixture, shaking off the excess, and then into the cornflake and butter mixture, turning to ensure the whole fillet is coated. Shake off any extra flakes and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork. The baking time will depend on how thick the fillets are. Check at 15 minutes. If not done, continue baking, checking every 2 minutes until done.
