Pretzel Crusted Cod
Forget breaded and fried…crunchy and baked is the “catch of the day”!
you're making mealtime meaningful.
From time to time we like to change up our go-to battered fish recipe with something a little different, and one way to do that is with pretzels. Crushed pretzels add texture to the fish and with the right seasonings we can transform a plain batter into something with a bit more kick. And what goes better with pretzels than mustard! The vinegary tang of the mustard adds another layer of flavor to the fish. We choose our favorite white fish, like cod or tilapia, and give it a generous coating of crushed pretzels. Not only does this cook up quickly, but it’s a flavorful meal that’s easy enough for a weeknight dinner and definitely easy on the budget!
