Panko Crusted Cod Fish Sandwich w/ Tater Tots

Dinner Tonight: Panko Crusted Cod Fish Sandwich w/ Tater Tots




Started my morning off with a Egg Beater's Egg White Scrambled, a slice of Boar's Head Black
Forest Ham, served on a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin. A lot colder out there today, it was 33 degrees this morning and one cold wind blowing. The day didn't warm up much, sunny and a high in the 30's. Gave Mom a hand cleaning out their bedroom walk-in closet, a lot of clothes headed to Good Will. After that it was house cleaning time, dusted and vacuumed. For dinner tonight I prepared a Panko Crusted Cod Fish Sandwich w/ Tater Tots.
 




I had purchased the Cod from Kroger and had it in the freezer. I laid 2 small fillets in the fridge
overnight to thaw. To prepare the Cod I rinsed the fillets off with cold water and patted dry. Then seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. Combined the flour and both Garlic Powder and Onion powder then press both sides of fillet into flour for a light dusting , shaking off any excess flour. Dip the floured fillets into the Paprika seasoned Egg Beater’s, allowing excess to drip off. Place fillets, one at a time, in Panko Bread Crumbs, and lightly toss fillets until both sides are covered. Meanwhile, heated the Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a skillet and place the fillets in and saute 3 minutes each side, or until fillets are heated through and Panko Crust has browned. Served on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun.




Then to go with the Fish Sandwich I prepared some Tater Tots. Love those Tater Tots and I always use Ore Ida Mini Tater Tots. Just bake at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes and done! The Tater Tots come out golden brown and delicious! I served them with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup. Fish and Potatoes, a perfect pairing. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.
