Panko Crusted Cod - Friday's fish dish


Friday’s Fish dish; which was easy to make!  Dinner done and on table within 30 minutes! Serving size was quite filling. Topping of tomatoes and fresh basil kept the dish feeling light. Served with an arugula salad which totally complimented this dish.  Hubby quite surprised as he assumed that cod would be too salty for his liking and helped himself to a 2nd piece.
 Panko crusted cod:
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
½ c panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
4 (6-ounce) cod fillets
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup vertically sliced Vidalia or other sweet onion
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°.

Place egg whites in a shallow dish; place panko in another shallow dish. Dip fish in egg whites; sprinkle fish evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and dredge in panko. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat. Add fish to pan; cook 3 minutes or until browned and very crispy. Turn fish over; place pan in oven. Bake fish at 450° for 7 minutes or until desired degree of doneness.

Combine remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, tomatoes, and remaining ingredients in a bowl. Serve with fish.
