    PANKO-CRUSTED FISH WITH LEMON DILL SAUCE 

     

    For the Panko-Crusted Fish:

     

    • 4 white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
    • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for pan-frying)

     

    For the Lemon Dill Sauce:

    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • Salt and pepper to taste

     

    Instructions:

     

    For the Panko-Crusted Fish:

    Prepare the coating: In one bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard. Place the flour in a third bowl.

     

    Coat the fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the fillets into the egg mixture, then coat them in the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.

     

    Cook the fish: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated fish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.

     

    For the Lemon Dill Sauce:

     

    Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

    Serve: Plate the crispy panko-crusted fish and drizzle with the lemon dill sauce. Serve with lemon wedges, and garnish with extra dill or parsley for a fresh touch. Pair with roasted vegetables, a side salad, or rice for a complete meal.

     

    Helpful Tips:

     

    For a lighter version, bake the fish at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

    You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise in the sauce for a healthier option.

    Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the panko mixture for a little heat.

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

     

    • For the Custard:
        • 500 ml (2 cups) fresh orange juice (about 4 or 5 oranges)
        • 3 medium eggs
        • 100 g (1/2 cup) sugar

       

        • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
        • 1/4 teaspoon salt
        • 50 g (about 1/3 cup) cornstarch

       

    • For the Creamy Mascarpone Mixture:
        • 500 ml cold cream (whipping cream)
        • 250 g (1 cup) mascarpone cheese

       

    Directions:

      • Prepare the Orange Custard:
          • In a saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Whisk together until smooth.

         

        • Gradually add the cornstarch while stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
        • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Once it reaches a custard-like consistency, remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

     

    • Prepare the Creamy Mascarpone Layer:
        • In a separate bowl, whip the cold cream until soft peaks form.
        • In another bowl, whisk the mascarpone until smooth.
        • Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese until well combined and fluffy.

       

    • Assemble the Dessert:
        • Once the orange custard has cooled slightly, gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture. Stir until fully incorporated and smooth.
        • Spoon the mixture into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

       

    Serving Suggestions:

      • Serve with candied orange peel on top for an extra citrus kick.

     

      • Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing contrast to the sweetness of the custard.
      • Pair with a light shortbread cookie or biscotti on the side for added crunch.
      • Serve in individual glasses or jars for a rustic, elegant presentation.

     

    • Add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a unique twist on the traditional flavor.

    Cooking Tips:

      • Ensure the custard thickens before removing from the heat. If it’s too runny, continue to cook it on low heat until it thickens to the desired consistency.

     

      • Make sure the mascarpone is at room temperature for easier mixing with the whipped cream.
      • Use fresh, high-quality oranges for the best flavor in the custard.
      • Whip the cream in a chilled bowl to achieve soft peaks faster.

     

    • Be careful not to overmix the custard and mascarpone mixture to maintain a smooth texture.

    Nutritional Benefits:

      • Vitamin C: The fresh orange juice provides a good dose of Vitamin C, which boosts immunity and helps with collagen production.

     

    • Protein & Calcium: Mascarpone cheese is a source of protein and calcium, essential for strong bones and teeth.
    • Healthy Fats: The whipped cream adds healthy fats to the dessert, giving it a creamy texture without being overly heavy.

    Ingredients

    For the Dough:

     

      • 200 g (7 oz) butter, softened
      • 100 g (3.5 oz, 1/2 cup) powdered sugar
      • 1 egg

     

      • 250 g (9 oz, 2 cups) all-purpose flour
      • 10 g (1 tablespoon) vanilla sugar
      • A pinch of salt

    For the Filling and Topping:

      • Apricot jam (or any jam of choice) for filling
      • Extra powdered sugar for dusting

     

    Steps to Make It

    1. Cream the Butter and Sugar

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process usually takes about 2–3 minutes.

    2. Add the Egg and Vanilla

    • Add the egg and vanilla sugar to the butter-sugar mixture and continue beating until fully incorporated. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.

    3. Mix the Dry Ingredients

    8. Assemble the Cookies

      • Spread a thin layer of apricot jam on the flat side of each full cookie. Place a cookie with a cut-out window on top, gently pressing to create a sandwich.

        • Add the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and sliced almonds to the wet ingredients.
        • Stir everything together until well combined.
      1. Add Apples and Bake:
        • Gently fold in the sliced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the oatmeal mixture.
        • Pour the complete mixture into the greased baking dish.
    1. Bake:
      • Bake the oatmeal in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    2. Serve:
        • Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before serving.

       

      • Enjoy it warm on its own, or with your favorite toppings like a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.

    Serving Suggestions:

      • Serve with a side of yogurt or a splash of milk.
    • Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
    • Pair with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful breakfast.

    Ingredients
    Milk: 400 ml (about 1 2/3 cups)
    Purpose: Forms the base of the chocolate mixture, giving it a creamy consistency.
    Sugar: 120 grams (about 1/2 cup)
    Purpose: Sweetens the chocolate base, balancing the richness of the cocoa.
    Orange Zest: Zest of 1 orange
    Purpose: Adds a fresh, citrusy aroma and flavor that complements the chocolate.

    Cocoa Powder: 60 grams (about 1/2 cup)
    Purpose: Provides the rich, chocolatey flavor that is the star of the dessert.
    Butter: 150 grams (about 2/3 cup)
    Purpose: Adds richness and smoothness to the chocolate mixture, making it more indulgent.
    Biscuits: 400 grams (about 14 oz), crushed into small pieces
    Purpose: Forms the crunchy base of the dessert, adding texture and structure.

    Walnuts: 100 grams (about 1 cup), chopped
    Purpose: Adds a nutty flavor and crunch that pairs perfectly with the chocolate.
    Milk Chocolate: 80 grams (about 3 oz)
    Purpose: Used for the middle layer, adding a smooth, sweet chocolate topping.
    Vegetable Oil: 25 ml (about 1.5 tbsp) for the milk chocolate, 10 ml (about 2 tsp) for the white chocolate
    Purpose: Helps the chocolate melt smoothly and creates a glossy finish when set.

    Roasted Peanuts: 60 grams (about 1/2 cup)
    Purpose: Sprinkled over the milk chocolate layer, adding extra crunch and flavor.
    White Chocolate: 50 grams (about 2 oz)
    Purpose: Provides a contrasting sweet, creamy topping that balances the flavors.
    Directions
    1. Prepare the Base:
    Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized saucepan, pour in 400 ml of milk and add 120 grams of sugar. Grate the zest of 1 orange directly into the pan, and then add 60 grams of cocoa powder.
    Tip: Use fresh orange zest for the best flavor; it adds a subtle yet delightful citrus note that complements the chocolate beautifully.

    Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously until it comes to a boil. This ensures the sugar dissolves completely and the cocoa powder blends smoothly into the milk.
    Tip: Keep an eye on the mixture as it heats to prevent it from scorching or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
    2. Add Butter:
    Incorporate the Butter: Once the mixture reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and immediately add 150 grams of butter. Stir until the butter melts completely and is fully incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
    Tip: Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the biscuits and nuts; this will help it thicken slightly and make it easier to mix.
    3. Prepare the Biscuit and Nut Mixture:
    Crush the Biscuits: Place 400 grams of biscuits into a large plastic bag or between sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to crush the biscuits into small, even pieces.
    Tip: You want some texture in the biscuits, so avoid crushing them into a fine powder. Larger pieces will add a satisfying crunch to the dessert.

    Chop the Walnuts: Roughly chop 100 grams of walnuts. The pieces should be small enough to mix well but large enough to add a noticeable crunch.
    Tip: Toast the walnuts beforehand to enhance their flavor and add an extra layer of depth to the dessert.
    4. Combine and Chill:
    Mix Together: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits and chopped walnuts. Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture over the biscuit and nut mixture, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
    Tip: Ensure all the biscuit pieces are well-coated with the chocolate mixture for a consistent flavor in every bite.
    Transfer to Dish: Press the mixture into a dish, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow it to set.
    Tip: Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture down firmly, ensuring it holds together well.

    5. Prepare the Toppings:
    Melt the Milk Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 80 grams of milk chocolate with 25 ml of vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
    Tip: The vegetable oil helps the chocolate to melt smoothly and gives it a glossy finish once set.
    Add Peanuts: Pour the melted milk chocolate over the chilled dessert base. Sprinkle 60 grams of roasted peanuts evenly over the milk chocolate layer.
    Tip: Lightly press the peanuts into the chocolate to help them stick as the chocolate sets.
    Chill Again: Place the dessert back in the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate layer to set.
    6. Add the Final Layer:
    Melt the White Chocolate: In a separate bowl, melt 50 grams of white chocolate with 10 ml of vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
    Tip: White chocolate can burn easily, so melt it in short intervals and stir frequently to avoid overheating.
    Top the Dessert: Pour the melted white chocolate over the dessert, spreading it evenly with a spatula. This final layer adds a sweet, creamy contrast to the rich chocolate and nuts.
    Final Chill: Place the dessert back in the refrigerator for another 15 minutes, allowing the white chocolate layer to fully set.
    7. Serve:
    Slice and Enjoy: Once the dessert is fully chilled and set, it’s ready to serve. Cut it into squares or slices, and enjoy the rich, layered flavors and textures.
    Tip: For clean slices, use a sharp knife warmed under hot water, wiping the blade between each cut.
