Cod fillet in batter
4 servings
30 minutes
Battered cod fillet is a classic dish of Russian cuisine that combines tender fish fillet with a crispy golden crust. The simplicity of preparation and harmony of flavors make it a favorite in both everyday menus and festive tables. Historically, battered dishes were popular for their ability to retain the juiciness of ingredients while providing an appetizing texture. Mayonnaise batter with onion adds a slight spiciness to the cod, while the soft dough fried in oil creates an airy shell that pleasantly crunches with each bite. This treat pairs perfectly with fresh vegetables, herbs, or light sauces, highlighting its tenderness and rich flavor.
