Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 Cod fillets
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Seasonal veggies
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish and Optional Toppings:
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup Fresh parsley
- 2 Lemon slices
Instructions
- Crank your oven to exactly 375°F and grab a clean baking dish.
- Arrange 4 cod fillets in the dish without overlapping.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons lemon juice directly onto the fish.
- Evenly dust 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, salt, and pepper across each fillet.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs with ¼ cup Parmesan cheese.
- Generously coat each fillet with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated 375°F oven for precisely 20-25 minutes.
- Check doneness by ensuring the fish flakes easily with a fork and appears opaque throughout.
- Pull the dish from the oven and scatter ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley across the top.
- Garnish with optional lemon slices and serve your perfectly baked cod immediately.
Notes
- Select firm, fresh cod fillets that look moist and have a clean ocean smell for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a digital meat thermometer to check that the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F without overcooking.
- Create extra crispy topping by briefly broiling the cod for 1-2 minutes after baking to golden brown the breadcrumbs.
- Swap breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives like almond meal or crushed gluten-free crackers for a celiac-friendly version.
