• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the Blue Eye Cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, chives, garlic, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 4

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the breadcrumb mixture and stir well until combined and slightly moist.

Step 5

Press the herb crust mixture onto the top of each cod fillet, ensuring an even coating.

Step 6

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the herb-crusted fillets.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the fish from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the roasted Blue Eye Cod with lemon wedges on the side, paired with a light salad or steamed vegetables of your choice.
