Ingredients

• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 4 (3 ounce) fillets cod fillets
• ¼ cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, divided
• 2 limes, halved

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Season each cod fillet with 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Squeeze one lime half over each fillet.

Step 2

Spread the crushed cereal into a wide, shallow bowl. Gently press cod fillets into the cereal to coat and shake gently to remove loose, excess crumbs. Place breaded fillets onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.

Step 3

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Step 4

Fry coated in the hot oil until the bottom is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the fillets, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking until golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes more.
