Crispy Cornflake Crusted Cod with Campanelle


We needed a healthy-choice, energy packed meal for last night's Velo la Nuit; a 20 km night time bike ride that takes you around the island of Montreal.
This was perfect!
We used cod, but tilapia or any other strong, meaty white fish would work.


1. Prep your crust station. 1 plate flour, 1 plate crumbled CornFlakes, 1 bowl beaten egg.

2. Preheat oven to 425.

3. Get pasta water ready. Get saute pan with oil heated.

4. Get pasta ingredients ready: slice one shallot, sliver one roasted red pepper, chuckify one small zucchini, zest a lemon and reserve the juice in a small bowl, grate some sharp Gouda cheese, defrost shrimp and set everything aside.

5. For the fish: First season with oil, salt and pepper, coat with flour, then egg, then CornFlakes. Get everyone done and bake on a cookie sheet for 20-22 minutes, flipping half way.

6. With about 10 minutes left on the fish: add your pasta (about 2 cups dry) to water, saute your shallot and zucchini for abot 5 minutes, then add shrimp, lemon zest and juice, noodles, red pepper, salt and pepper, olive oil and about 1/2 cup pasta water to create a nice sauce.

7. When you serve, have a lemon wedge for your fish and be sure to top the pasta with the Gouda cheese!


Moolicious!
