The Perfect, Quick Parmesan Crusted Cod


  • Author: Elizabeth
  • Total Time: 22-25 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 (6-ounce) cod fillets
• 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature is essential for achieving a crispy, golden-brown crust on the cod.
  2. Prepare the Parmesan Crust: In a shallow bowl, combine the freshly grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to create a flavorful and textured coating for the cod.
  3. Coat the Cod: Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels, then dredge them in the parmesan-panko mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere. Make sure to coat the cod evenly on all sides.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the coated cod fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet or in a shallow baking dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Keep a close eye on the cod during the final minutes of cooking to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
