Crispy Lemon Codfish

I've said lots of times that I was never really a fan of fish, but I've been working hard at finding recipes that will change that.  I found this at "The Spruce Eats" and it's super good and very simple.  Crispy cod fillets topped with a lemon butter sauce.
 

For the Fish

1 Tbsp butter

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 egg whites

2 cups panko breadcrumbs

1 1/2 lbs codfish fillets

Dash kosher salt

Dash freshly ground pepper

For Lemon Butter Sauce

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

2 Tbsp white wine vinegar

2 Tbsp butter

1/2 tsp kosher salt

In a large nonstick frying pan, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Set up a breading station with two shallow dishes.  Beat the egg whites and set them in one dish.  Spared out panko breadcrumbs in a thin layer in another shallow dish.

Dip the cod first in the egg whites, then in the panko, pressing lightly to help the breadcrumbs adhere.  Season with salt and pepper.

Sauté the coated fillets in the butter-olive oil mixture until golden, about 3 minutes.

Flip and cook on the other side until cooked through.  The fish will be opaque and flake easily with a fork.  

To Make the Lemon Butter Sauce

In a small saucepan, heat the lemon juice and vinegar over medium-low heat until the mixture is reduced by half, about 6 minutes.  

Stir in butter and salt.

Drizzle lightly over the crispy codfish fillets.

Serve and enjoy!
