Ingredients

• 1 bag Milton’s Gluten Free Crispy Sea Salt Crackers

• 1 tsp Cajun seasoning (or chili powder)

• 1 tsp garlic powder (or onion powder)

• 1 tsp paprika (or cayenne pepper, for a spicier kick)

• 1 tsp dried parsley

• 2 tsp salt

• 1 egg

• 3–4 fish fillets (cod, halibut, or tilapia all work great)

• 8–10 Tbsp avocado oil (or another high heat cooking oil)

• Lime or lemon wedges, for serving

How to Make Cracker-Encrusted Cod Fillets

Step 1: Make Your Gluten Free Breading

Add the entire bag of Milton’s Gluten Free Crispy Sea Salt Crackers to a food processor. Toss in the seasonings and salt, then pulse until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Pour into a shallow bowl or onto a plate.

Step 2: Prep the Fish

Crack the egg into another shallow bowl and beat lightly. Dip each fish fillet into the egg, coating both sides. Then press each fillet into the cracker mixture until evenly coated.

Step 3: Pan-Fry to Crispy Perfection

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated fillets in the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden and crispy and the fish is opaque and flakes easily.

Step 4: Plate and Serve

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Squeeze fresh lime or lemon juice over the top, garnish with herbs if desired, and serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your crispy cracker-encrusted fish with a bright citrusy salad, roasted seasonal veggies, or a simple slaw for balance. Want to go next level? Pair it with a herby yogurt dip or aioli to complement the spices in the crust.
