Baked Cod with Hemp Seed Coconut Crust

Recipe by: Megan Olson

This recipe transforms cod into a deliciously spicy meal with just a handful of healthy ingredients.

Tools

• 2 small mixing bowls
• Paper towel
• Baking pan

Ingredients

• 2 wild cod loins
• 1 large egg
• 2 T water
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• ⅓ cup hemp seeds
• ¼ t paprika
• ¼ t cayenne pepper
• ½ t garlic powder

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Crack the egg into a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of water and then whisk together until completely mixed.
• In a separate bowl, combine the paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, coconut flour, and hemp seeds. Sift the ingredients until everything is combined.
• Place cod loins on a paper towel and pat dry. Make sure they are very dry before dipping into the egg wash!
• Next arrange the following items in order from first to last: egg wash bowl, flour mixture, and a baking pan sprinkled with flour mixture where you plan to place the cod loin.
• Dip one cod at a time into the egg wash, then into the flour mixture. Cover the loin completely with the mixture, tossing it around several times to coat.
• Then place cod on the baking sheet on top of the flour mixture.
• Repeat the process for the remaining cod loin.
• Bake for 22 minutes until brown and slightly crispy.
• Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
