Crispy crunchy beer battered coating wrapped around flaky light cod fish on a brioche bun topped with zesty lemon aioli… I know the thought of it is making me hungry too
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds cod, cut into lengthwise 3 inch strips
1 12 ounce lager
1 cup flour
3/4 cup cornstarch
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoom lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, grated
4 brioche sandwich buns
Oil for frying
Directions:
In a small bowl whisk together zest, lemon juice, mayo, Dijon mustard, and garlic. Cover and refrigerate. In a large bowl mix together flour, cornstarch and salt. Whisk in egg and lager. Don’t over mix, batter should be a little lumpy. In a large cast iron pan heat 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees. Dip cod in batter letting excess batter dip back in bowl. Using thongs slowly lower cod into oil. Hold for a few seconds so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Cook both sides until golden brown. Serve on brioche with lemon aioli.
