Directions: |
Directions:Sprinkle 4 cod pieces with salt and pepper. Dip each in flour and shake off excess.
In a small pie plate, whisk ¼ cup of Italian dressing with 2 Tbsp of light olive oil. In another pie plate, place Italian bread crumbs.
Dip floured pieces into dressing-oil mixture and then into crumbs, pressing crumbs to adhere.
Toss together tomato chunks, basil, mozzarella cubes, and red onion; drizzle with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar. Season salsa with salt and fresh pepper to taste and set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat remaining 2 Tbsp light olive oil to shimmering. Cook cod pieces quickly, about 2-3 minutes per side until they register 140 internal temp, or are opaque and flaky inside. (Do in batches if necessary, and add a little more oil if needed.)
