Ingredients
- 3-4 ounce cod fillets
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice fresh
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley, chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin; quantity includes 2 teaspoons
- 1 tablespoon butter divided into slices (one for each fillet)
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- lemon optional: for serving, cut into wedges, wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F, and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or tinfoil. Use paper towels to pat the cod fillets dry.
- In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic, lemon zest, parsley, olive oil, and paprika. Stir with fork to combine. Set aside.
- Place the fillets onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 2 teaspoons olive oil and lemon juice over the cod fillets, then sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
- Top each fillet with 2 to 3 tablespoons of panko topping, and press down gently to ensure the topping stays on top of the fish. Add a slice of butter on top of each fillet.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the fish flakes easily and is opaque in the center. According to the USDA, an instant read thermometer should read 145°F when inserted into the thickest part of the cod.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges, and a side of your favorite vegetable, and bread!
Notes
- I like to use foil instead of parchment paper when baking fish or meat in the oven. I find that it gets a crispier bottom instead of steaming in the way it tends to do when baked on parchment. I use parchment more for baking cakes!
