Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 1 pound cod fillets
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, packed and minced
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  • Step 1

    Grease a baking dish, and arrange your cod in the dish.

  • Step 2

    In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Drizzle lemon butter on fish.

  • Step 3

    In a medium bowl, mix together panko, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Add 3 tablespoons melted butter and stir until combined.

  • Step 4

    Add panko mixture to top of cod, lightly pressing so it adheres to the cod. It’s okay if some panko falls of the fish!

  • Step 5

    Bake at 400 degrees for 11-16 minutes depending on the thickness of your cod. Cod is done when the thickest part is opaque and flaky.
