Frozen Fish Fillets Southern Style Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with olive oil.
• Combine mixed vegetables, water, celery, onion, and garlic in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Lightly season cod fillets and layer on top of vegetables.
• Place in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the rice flour, Creole seasoning, black pepper, garlic powder smoked paprika and yellow cornmeal, and whisk together until evenly mixed. Add the seasoned cornmeal to a large piece of wax paper.
• Heat the oil in a large, deep cast-iron skillet until at least 325 degrees F (or add a few drops of cornmeal and if it sizzles, it's ready to start frying).
• Rinse off the fish fillets and place in a large baking dish. Shake a few drops of hot sauce on both sides of 2 of the fish fillets, then coat both sides with the seasoned cornmeal. Fry the coated fillets in the hot oil, without turning, until the edges turn brown, about 4 minutes. Flip over and fry about another 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel or wire rack. Repeat the coating and frying with the remaining 2 fillets.
