Battered & Baked Cod

7  small filets of Cod

Wet mixture

• 2 Tbs Starch (Tapioca, Arrowroot or Potato Starch)
• 1 Cup Milk (Dairy or Nondairy) 
• 1/3 Cup Whey or water
• 12 Tbs Butter or Coconut Oil
• 1 tsp dried minced garlic or fresh
Breading
• 1 Cup Tapioca (Or Arrowroot or Potato Starch)
• 1 Cup Almond Meal or Any nut meal
• 2 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Cayenne

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a bowl combine 2 tbsp tapioca starch and milk & whey, mix until there are no clumps of starch. Add in minced garlic.
3. In another bowl combine breading ingredients.
4. Heat a pan over low heat with the butter, once it melts, add in wet mixture.
5. Whisk continually until it thickens. It should go from liquid to almost cake batter.
6. Remove from heat, and pour into a pie pan or shallow dish, long enough to fit fish fillets.
7. Drop fillets into wet mixture and then heavily dredge in breading mixture; remove from breading, place in the wet mixture and then into the breading.
8. Repeat until both fillets have been coated twice.
9. Place on parchment lined baking sheet.
10. Place fish in oven for 20 minutes.
11. Broil on high for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

*I used the rest the leftover batter to bread okra. I put the wet & dry together, coated the okra, separated it and put it on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Cooked 16 minutes.
