Lemon Zest Crusted Cod

The following dish comes from 5 Star foodie, a food blog with class.

Ingredients: (2-4 servings)

• Vegetable oil
• 1 cod fillet (about 0.8 pound), cut in 4 equal portions
• 1 egg, beaten (optional)
• 1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• Coarsely grated lemon zest from 1 lemon
• Salt, pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon horseradish
• 1 teaspoon lecithin
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• Salt to taste

Directions:

1. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet. Mix panko breadcrumbs with lemon zest (saving a few lemon zest pieces for presentation), salt, and pepper in a shallow container or a plate. Dip cod pieces into egg (optional), and coat with lemon zest breadcrumbs. Fry cod for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
2. Meanwhile, in a mixing cup, combine lemon juice, horseradish, and lecithin. Mix with immersion blender. Continue to mix and pour the extra virgin olive oil in a slow stream, until the mixture is thick, white, and foamy. Season to taste.
