Parmesan Baked Cod Recipe
Description
Parmesan Baked Cod spots fresh cod fillets coated with a mixture of mayonnaise, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, grated garlic, and chopped fresh parsley and basil. The fish is baked at high heat to cook through while the topping forms a moist, cheesy coating.
After the initial bake, the broiler is used briefly to brown the top, adding a subtle crisp and enhancing the flavors. This method results in cod that flakes easily with a tender texture underneath the flavorful herb and cheese topping.
Serve this cod as a main protein alongside simple sides, such as steamed vegetables or a light salad, to balance the richness of the topping. The recipe is straightforward though relies on fresh herbs and quality cheese for the best taste.
Ingredients
- 2 lb cod fillets
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese freshly grated
- 2 tbs parsley fresh, chopped
- 2 tbs basil fresh, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450° F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Place fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir mayonnaise together with cheese, fresh herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper until combined. Spread evenly over the top of the fillets.
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until fish starts looking opaque and will flake.
- Switch oven to broiler and brown the tops of the fish until lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, watching it carefully so it doesn't burn.
- Remove from oven and serve warm.
