Basil Lemongrass Sesame Crusted Cod
- 2 tablespoons Basil Lemongrass Olive Oil
- 4 (4-6 oz. each) Atlantic cod fillets or other fresh, firm white fish
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup cold water
- Olive oil for shallow frying
-
Heat oven 400F. Spoon 2 tablespoons of basil lemongrass olive oil over fish fillets spreading over all sides; let marinate for 15 minutes. Mix salt and white pepper together; sprinkle evenly over fish fillets. Spread sesame seeds over a flat plate. Whisk cornstarch and water together in a bowl until incorporated. Spoon the cornstarch mixture over the fish, turning, to thinly coat both sides. Press fish fillets, 1 at a time, into the sesame seeds coating both sides. Heat oil for shallow frying in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook fish, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until sesame seeds are lightly brown. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 5 to 8 minutes or until fish is cooked through.
