Panko Crusted Cod Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Panko Crusted Cod Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Fries






I just had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I wanted to get an early start to go to Menard's and stop by Kroger for Mom but the roads in some areas werereal slick. We had some fog in some areas and
the fog was freezing on the roads. So after that cleared up I headed out. I went to Menard's to pick up some new blinds and then on to Kroger to grab a couple of items for Mom. Then stopped at McDonald's and picked up Breakfast for Mom. After Lunch cleaned the house, dusted and ran the vacuum. For Dinner tonight I prepared Panko-Crusted Fish Sandwich and Baked Fries.



When I went to Kroger earlier and I picked up a couple North Atlantic Cod Fillets that were on sale.
Washed them off in cold water and sliced them into Sandwich size Fillets. I kept one out for my Sandwich and froze the other.










To prepare the Cod I rinsed the fillet off with cold water and patted dry. Then seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. Combined flour and both Garlic Powder and Onion powder. Then pressed both sides of fillet into flour for a light dusting , shaking off any excess
flour. Dipped the floured fillets into the Paprika seasoned Egg Beater’s, allowing excess to drip off. Placed the 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 placed the fillets in and cooked 3 minutes each side. Served on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun. I love making Fish Sandwiches with Cod and the Panko Bread Crumbs. Cod cooks up great no matter how you prepare it. Plus it’s a very meaty Fish which makes for one excellent Fish Sandwich.


For my Fries I’m using my favorite, Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries. Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 16 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Shoestring Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. It’s an easy prepared but hot and filling meal. For Dessert later a bowl of Breyer’s Carb Smart Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
