Cod is one of the most popular and affordable white fish. Cod meat is also dietary: 69 kcal per 100 grams. If you fry cod in a frying pan, it will retain its aroma and all its taste qualities. It is better to choose cod for cooking of a uniform color, not fibrous, with a thin ice crust on the fish, if the fish is frozen. In this recipe, you can learn how to quickly and easily cook delicious cod steaks.

How to cook Cod steak

Step 1

Cook the cod steaks. Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil. Roll the cod steaks in flour and place them in the pan. Fry on both sides for 5 minutes over medium heat. Cover with a lid, turn off the stove and leave for another 5 minutes. This will keep the fish juicy.
