I only made the cod but it was quite good. I liked how this had a slight crunch to the top, without being "too" bready. My daughter (who complained about having fish) had two helpings! I had a very thick piece of cod, so I baked it at least 15 min. more. I served with steak fries. I haven't made cod too often, but this has motivated me to try it more often. Thanks Ppaper doll, for posting. Rpxygirl -
wonderful recipe, thank you for posting! -
I too just made the fish part of the recipe. and I had to make a couple of adjustments cus I was certain i had some cornmeal and discovered i didn't and the only crumbs i had were panco, but followed the recipe with everything else. added the flour, paprika etc., to the panco. turned out wonderfully crisp. we loved it. Thanks for posting it was a lovely way to make my cod. -
Very good. I am rating this on the fish alone, but I pretty much use the same technique for my oven baked potato wedges (not "chips" on this side of the pond, haha). I used some salmon fillets that I happened to have in my freezer, but it was still tasty. This will be my new go to recipe for breaded fish. Thank you for posting.

I'm an American living in London since I got married in 1994 (except for a brief stint in New Jersey, and then Luxembourg). I work part-time for a national charity and also study social sciences part-time with the Open University. Keeps me busy, but I still find plenty of time to cook and search for 'zaar recipes!
Over time my cooking has meshed English and American customs together, especially at holiday time. I make a mean Christmas fruitcake complete with Fondant Icing and marzipan, but I still have a Christmas cookie party for my friends where I introduce (or subject!) them to all my favorite cookie recipes. My husband and two kids will happily eat Shepherd's Pie or Sloppy Joes, cheese and onion or grilled cheese sandwiches. The comparisons go on and on...
