In a medium-size bowl, whisk together whey protein, baking powder, salt, chili powder and cayenne pepper if using.
In another medium-size bowl whisk eggs.
Cut cod into bite sized pieces.
Dip cod into dry mixture followed by the egg and back into the dry mixture, coating all sides. Repeat until all cod has been coated.
Over medium-high heat, heat up ¼”-½” of oil.
Carefully place cod and allow to cook 3-5 minutes per side. If fish is cut thicker, allow time to cook accordingly.
You are looking for the coating to become a golden brown color.
Remove from skillet and place on paper towel.
Add in next batch of cod until all has been cooked.
Serve with lettuce or salad mixture, pico and squeeze of lime juice.
- Almond flour or crushed pork rinds should work in place of the whey protein
- Don’t forget the limes!
- Make sure your skillet is hot before cooking the fish to ensure a nice, crisp finish.
