Today I’ll show you my cod fish recipe for fish in an egg coat.
This way of preparation is called Parisian style.
I wrote and photographed this dish a long time ago for my first cookbook “Der Minutenkoch schmeckt.schneller.”
It’s a really simple fish dish and I use the square cod fillets available in the supermarket.
The cod fillets I put together are not necessarily my absolute favourite, but sometimes they are practical and especially popular in fast food.
The side dish is a quick potato salad combined with lamb’s lettuce.
For fish in an egg coat you can use any other fish fillets, try this variant, it tastes delicious!

1. Recipe Cod in Egg Coating with Potato Salad
For the potato salad I have at this point another tip:
Peel the potatoes and cut the potatoes into slices.
The potato slices cook faster than whole potatoes, you save time and energy.
Cook the prepared potato slices in boiling vegetable stock, that gives a good taste.
For the potato salad, the right potato variety is decisive, choose a firmly boiling variety, e.g. Sieglinde or Bamberger Hörnchen.
Note on gluten-free cuisine: Instead of wheat flour, simply use corn starch or a gluten-free flour for preparation.

3. Prepare the Cod the Parisian Way
The Parisian style of preparation is similar to Wiener Schnitzel.
However, the food is only turned in flour and egg, then baked in oil, clarified butter or butter until golden yellow.
The name “Parisian style” refers to the Parisian Schnitzel, which dates back to the 1889 World Exhibition in Paris.
The advantage of the coating with flour and egg is obvious:
The food to be cooked, in this case a fish fillet, is prepared extremely gently.
Flour and egg protect the cod from excessive heat and at the same time create stability and an interesting taste environment.
The professional chef’s tip for this preparation:
Whip the egg well for the preparation, season with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
In new times I always add a little cream to the egg so that the egg crust becomes nicely fluffy.
As a supplement I recommend herbs according to season and market offer.
For example, add finely chopped parsley, thyme or wild garlic to the egg.
So your fish fillet gets a great egg and herb coating.
