Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Cod fillets
• 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well blended.

Step 4

Place the all-purpose flour in a third shallow dish.

Step 5

Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess.

Step 6

Dip the floured cod into the beaten eggs, ensuring the entire fillet is coated.

Step 7

Press the fish into the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly on all sides. Gently press down to help the coating adhere.

Step 8

Place the breaded cod fillets on the prepared wire rack. Lightly spray the tops of the fish with cooking spray; this helps them crisp up in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish easily flakes with a fork. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
