Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce portions Cod fillets
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the fresh lemon juice and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 5
Brush each cod fillet generously with the butter-lemon mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Reserve a small amount for drizzling later.
Step 6
Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each fillet, forming an even and slightly packed layer.
Step 7
Drizzle any remaining butter-lemon mixture over the breadcrumb topping for added richness.
Step 8
Bake the cod fillets in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Enjoy!
