USWM Shopping List:

2 lb Cod, wild-caught

Breading:

• 3 Eggs
• 2 cups Gluten-free Panko (I like the brand 4C)
• 2 Tbsp Jalapeno Flakes or 2 jalapeños
• 1/2 tsp Paprika

Sauce:

• 1/2 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 1/2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1/4 cup Garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp Lime Zest
• 1/2 cup Coconut Milk Yogurt, plain (I like Culina)
• 1/2 tsp Salt

Toppings:

• Daiya Dairy Free Mozzarella Style Shreds (you can use shredded Parmesan as well)
• Green Onion (Scallion), chopped
• Tomato, chopped
• Chili Lime Piña Picante (Crispy Green) (optional)

Instructions:

1. Create jalapeño flakes by placing two halves and seeded jalapeños in the oven at 200 for 1 hour. Remove and finely chop.
2. Separate fish loins and flanks for even cooking.
3. Beat eggs in a shallow dish.
4. Add breadcrumbs and jalapeño flakes to the dish.
5. Alternate disposing of each fish first in egg wash and then breadcrumbs (make sure it’s covered completely).
6. Place in refrigerator to set before frying.

Sauce:

1. Place oil, garlic, and onion in a pan and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.
2. Deglaze the pan with 2 tbsp water.
3. Add lime zest and yogurt.
4. Cook for 1 minute and add salt.
5. Remove from heat and place in a blender.
6. Blend until smooth.
7. Fry fish on medium-high heat using olive or avocado oil. Loins are 5 minutes per side, and flanks are 3 minutes per side (or until golden brown on both sides).
