Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh cod fillets, skinless and boneless

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dredging

1 cup cornmeal

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

1 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

Vegetable oil (for frying)

4 sandwich rolls or brioche buns

Lettuce, shredded (for serving)

Sliced tomatoes (for serving)

Tartar sauce (for serving)

Lemon wedges (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cod: Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the fillets into sandwich-sized portions.

    Make the Breading Station: In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.

      Dredge the Cod: First, dredge each piece of cod in flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it into the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the fillets in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres well.

        Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom (about ½ inch high). Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but is not smoking.

          Fry the Cod: Carefully add the breaded cod fillets to the hot oil, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

            Assemble the Sandwich: Toast the sandwich rolls lightly on a separate skillet or grill. Spread a generous amount of tartar sauce on the bottom half of each roll. Layer with shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, and the crunchy fried cod. Top with the other half of the roll.

              Serve: Serve the Crunchy Fried Cod Fish Sandwich Delight warm, garnished with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy the crispy crunch with a delightful burst of flavors!
