Preparation

1. Place rice flour in a wide, flat dish, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Place egg whites in a large bowl, and whisk until foamy; add lemon zest, and whisk again.
2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add 1/4 inch of oil. When oil is hot, dip cod fillets into egg-white mixture. Press fillets into flour to coat them lightly and evenly on all sides, and place in skillet.
3. Cook fillets until crisp and golden brown on bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn, and continue cooking until golden on outside and opaque in center. Remove with a slotted spatula, and place on a platter covered with paper towels. Transfer immediately to plates while crisp and hot.
