Notes
- What to Look For: Fresh filets should be slightly opaque and with even coloring throughout the filet.
- Dry the Fish: Before cooking, use paper towels to pat the fish dry, this will help the flour adhere easily.
- Have Ingredients Prepped: Because the lingcod cooks quickly, have all the ingredients prepped before you start cooking.
- Don't Overcook: Lingcod is not a thick filet and therefore only cooks for 2 minutes per side.
