Fried cod fish recipes are so decadent and refreshing. The two most common species of this particular fish include the Atlantic and Pacific cod. This commonly eaten fish has a mild flavor and a dense, flaky, white flesh.
Fried cod fish recipes are also packed with omega 3 fatty acids. It’s the perfect fish to eat with sauce recipes with green curry paste. Green curry paste is a popular Thai recipe ingredient. The green color is derived from green chilies and tends to be more pungent yet milder than red curry.
Recipes with green curry paste originated in Thailand.
This particular sauce uses the following ingredients: 1/4 cup butter, 1 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup vegetable broth, and 1 tbsp green curry paste. Also 1/2 tbsp lemon grass paste, 1/2 tbsp ginger paste, and 2 tbsp fish sauce.
More ingredients for this curry sauce include 1/2 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp coconut sugar,
3 kaffir lime leaves, and 2 tbsp lime juice. I also like to include 8 chopped Thai basil leaves. Thai basil leaves are the perfect flavor with fried cod fish recipes.
Thai basil leaves are native to Southeast Asia and provide an anise and black licorice type flavor. It is also described as slightly spicier than other types of basil. All you need to make these breaded fried cod fish fillets is 4 (8 oz) cod fillets, 4 cups vegetable oil, 3 large eggs, and 1 cup bread crumbs.
I also use 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp seasoned salt, and 1/2 tbsp black pepper for the breading. Follow the simple fried fish and curry sauce recipe and directions below!
