Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs cod fillets (4 pieces, 6 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Handful fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Season cod with salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  2. Mix panko, Parmesan, melted butter, lemon zest, garlic, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Place cod on a lined baking sheet. Pack crumb mixture thickly on top, pressing gently.
  4. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden and fish flakes. Squeeze lemon juice over and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

If your fillets are uneven, tuck the thin ends under so they cook at the same rate as the thicker center. The crumb mixture can be made a few hours ahead and kept covered at room temperature, but wait to top the fish until you’re ready to bake.
