Sesame Cod

I love fish! Having been born in Alaska, fish was a huge part our diet. My family and I were spoiled, we ate salmon and halibut that was caught that day, and it is so healthy for you too. My son, Tatum, loves to fish, so I am always trying to come up with new ways to prepare it.We served an Asian salad, and I added broccoli at the last minute when we had some unexpected guests.  Just a little note, either halibut and tilliapia would also be good in this recipe.

Asian Sesame Crusted Cod   

 Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb Cod Fillet, cut into 4 equal pieces

2 Egg Whites, slightly beaten

1/2 cup Sesame Seed

1 Tbsp Butter

1/2 Lemon, cut into wedges

Salt to taste

Directions:

Season fillets with salt to taste. Dip the cod fillets in the egg whites.  Spread sesame seeds on plate and press each fillet  into sesame seeds to coat, turn over to coat the other side. Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over low heat, being careful not to brown butter. Place fillets in the pan and cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Turn each cod fillet and cook until fish flakes easily, 4 to 5 minutes. Do not overcook or the cod will be dry. Garnish with lemon wedge.
