Lemon Ranch Pan-Fried Wild Alaskan Cod Recipe

This year we’ve been trying to eat healthier and have been incorporating a lot of fish and seafood into our diets. We’ve been enjoying it grilled, baked and/or pan-friend. It’s very versatile and easy to prepare. It can be the main focus on your dinner plate or used as an ingredient in something else. ie. fish & seafood tacos, fish burritos, a casserole, sandwich wrap, etc. #SitkaSalmonShares

Recently we were introduced to Sitka Salmon Shares which offers premium wild-caught seafood straight from the boat to your dinner table. How does it work? You can sign-up for monthly seafood box deliveries or just purchase what you need from their freezer section. All of the seafood is harvested in Alaska and the northern Pacific waters by local, small fishermen. It’s harvested in-season and blast-frozen, then delivered to your front door.

My delivery arrived quickly and I was really impressed with how well everything was packaged. It arrived partially frozen with dry ice. Each piece was individually packaged, labeled and sealed. In my box I received 3 packages of Wild Alaskan Lingcod Portions and 2 packages of Wild Alaskan COHO Salmon, along with 2 recipe cards & other information. Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing info with you about the company, the fish and the recipes that I’m making. Trust me, all recipes will be quick & easy, perfect for the home cook.

Lemon Ranch Pan-Fried Wild Alaskan Cod Recipe

1 lb. Wild Alaskan Lingcod Portions from Sitka Salmon Shares
3/4 cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs
1 Tbsp. Dry Ranch Dressing Mix
4 Tbsp. Butter, softened, divided
Juice from 1/2 of Fresh Lemon
Salt and Ground Black Pepper

Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in the microwave. Stir in 1 Tbsp. of Dry Ranch Dressing Mix until blended.

Rinse fish off in running tap water. Squeeze a 1/2 of a lemon to obtain the lemon juice. Dip both sides of the fillet in the lemon juice. Pour the remaining (if any is leftover into the melted butter & dry Ranch Dressing Mix (I prepare it in a measuring cup and then pour into a bowl).

Pour the seasoned bread crumbs out onto a plate. Dip prepared fillet into the butter and dressing mix and then place it onto your plate with the seasoned bread crumbs. Coat both sides of the fillet in the crumb mixture.

Over medium heat melt the remaining 2 Tbsp. of butter. Sprinkle salt and ground black pepper onto the fillet before placing it into the skillet. Simmer over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, flip it over and finish simmering until the fish is done. It will flake apart with a fork easily and the coating will be golden brown. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

As I previously stated, we’re big seafood & fish eaters. We love it and eat it all of the time. With that said, this piece of Wild Alaskan Lingcod was absolutely delicious! It tasted so fresh…like it was caught that day! It had a really nice texture and flavor to it.  My husband really enjoyed this one because it didn’t taste overly fishy. The ranch dressing and freshly-squeezed lemon really added to the flavor.

We’ve have dined out many times at high-end restaurants and this is something you would enjoy there, but now you can enjoy it in your own home and at an affordable price! You can make it the way you like it and enjoy it anytime you want. That’s how dining should be!
