Crispy cod with rye and lingonberry dressing recipe

Crispy cod with rye and lingonberry dressing recipe

"I love patting fish filets lightly with rye flour before frying. This is a very typical way of frying fish in Finland. We usually use perch or herring. I use cod here and the result is a wonderfully crispy texture at the top and a soft, moist fish on the inside. I serve the filets with fresh garden salad and new potatoes. Lingonberry dressing adds colour and tanginess to the dish."
