Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 2 cups cornflakes
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
Step 2
Place the cornflakes in a zip-top bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow dish.
Step 3
In a second shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In a third shallow dish, beat the eggs with the milk until well combined.
Step 5
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Dredge one fillet at a time in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 6
Dip the floured cod into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then press it into the crushed cornflakes, covering the fillet evenly.
Step 7
Place the coated cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process for all fillets.
Step 8
Lightly spray the tops of the fillets with olive oil spray to encourage browning.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cornflake crust is golden brown and the cod is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
Step 10
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for added freshness and flavor.
