Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Cod fillets (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 Large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • Fresh dill (chopped)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workstation by setting up three shallow dishes: one with seasoned flour (flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper), one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Dredge each cod piece in the flour mixture, dip it in the egg wash, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Fry the cod bites in batches for about 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. For the dip, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
