Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-ounce each) cod or haddock fillets
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking.

Step 3

Arrange the cod or haddock fillets in a single layer in the baking dish. Season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and white wine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Pour the cream sauce evenly over the fish fillets in the baking dish.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Drizzle in a tablespoon of olive oil and mix to create a crumbly topping.

Step 8

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the fish and cream sauce.

Step 9

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with crusty bread or a side of steamed vegetables, and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
