Cod fillets are coated with seasoned crushed pretzels, cooked until golden brown and served with an apricot-dijon mustard sauce in this quick and tasty preparation. Ingredients:
pretzel crusted cod |
1/3 cup light salad dressing |
1 teaspoon seasoned salt |
4 ounces small twist pretzels |
4 (4 ounce) cod fillets |
2 tablespoons crisco® puritan canola oil with omega-3 dha |
apricot dijon sauce |
2/3 cup smucker's® apricot low sugar preserves |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
4 teaspoons fat free half-and-half |
2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley, if desired |
Directions:
1. Combine salad dressing and seasoned salt in a small bowl. Pulse pretzels in a food processor until pretzels are finely chopped, leaving some small pieces; this makes about 1 cup. Place in shallow dish.
2. Spread each side of fish with salad dressing mixture; coat with crushed pretzels. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Saute fish slowly, cooking 3 to 4 minutes per side (or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F) adding additional oil if necessary. Keep fish warm.
3. Whisk apricot preserves, Dijon mustard and half-and-half together in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until sauce is creamy and thickens slightly. Serve sauce over fish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
