Ingredients
  

For the Fish
  • 4 fillets Cod Fresh preferred, but frozen can work if thawed
For the Topping
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Can substitute with olive oil for dairy-free option
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs Regular breadcrumbs will yield a denser texture
  • 2 tablespoons Parsley Freshly chopped; dried herbs like thyme can be an alternative
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic can be used for a stronger taste
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest Lime zest can be used if lemon is unavailable
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to preference
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Freshly cracked for better flavor

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • medium saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure an even bake.
  2. Generously butter a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  3. Pat the cod fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the panko, parsley, garlic powder, and lemon zest.
  5. Distribute the panko mixture over the cod fillets.
  6. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the topping.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the topping is golden and the fish flakes easily.
  8. Let sit for a few minutes before serving.
