Ingredients

4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

  2. Season Cod: Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Prepare Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried thyme, and paprika.
  4. Coat Fillets: Dip each cod fillet in the melted butter, then press into the panko mixture, coating both sides. Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs.

To achieve extra crispiness, consider broiling the fillets for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
