Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, and set them aside.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Drizzle olive oil over the breadcrumb mixture and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and lightly moist. This ensures a golden, crispy crust.
Step 5
Press each cod fillet firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides. Shake off any excess crumbs.
Step 6
Place the coated cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 7
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The breadcrumb coating should be golden and crisp.
Step 8
Remove the cod from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the crispy baked cod with fresh lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
