If you’ve never
breaded any fish with Japanese panko bread crumbs, you must try it!
Panko bread crumbs are
perfect in low-fat recipes as it gives food the crunch that comes from breading
and frying fish in deep fat. The panko
crumbs have a light, flaky texture that’s a change from the traditional heavier
bread crumbs.
Cod is high in
protein, calcium, potassium and vitamin B6, yet low in sodium, fat, and
carbohydrates making it a great healthy food.
Deep frying that cod filet turns it into a greasy piece of fish that is about as good for us as smoking. There is nothing you can do to make fried foods healthy and that's why it's good to consider using panko bread crumbs.

In this recipe, swiping
the cod through a mixture of garlic and onion powders, paprika, ground red
pepper and lemon juice adds flavoring for the cod. Then coating the filets with panko bread
crumbs and baking the fish delivers a crispy texture.
Covering the baking sheet with cooking spray eliminates the need for any oil and here’s the bonus: you will not have a messy stove top from the splattering grease to clean up, nor the aroma of grease in your kitchen! Cod is delicious but any whitefish would work just as well.

Pam, This recipe sounds great despite the fact that it's healthy too! I like the way you spiced it up to add serious flavor... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteWe are huge fans of panko, even though we make our own bread crumbs whenever we can. There's a technique I have yet to use which is to heat the baking pan while the oven warms up. It's said that it increases the crisping of the bottom of the fish pieces. What do you think? As usual please write me at scrout1944@msn.com. Best regards.
ReplyDeleteI love using Panko crumbs too, mostly for pork cutlet or prawns. This dish looks good, sweetie! Have a wonderful weekend!

Panko crumbs are scrumptious, so much better than regular bread crumbs. It makes everything crispy good.
