Crispy Baked Cod

9 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs or 1/2 cup regular breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 4 (6 ounce) skinless cod fish fillets (1 1/2-inch thick)
  • salt, to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F In a small skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add bread crumbs, stir to coat with butter, then cook, stirring frequently, until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley and lemon zest. Let cool. Combine mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
  2. 2
    Rinse fish and pat dry. Sprinkle each fillet lightly with salt, then place on a rimmed, foil-lined baking sheet and brush with mustard mixture. Press 1/4 of crumbs onto each fillet.
  3. 3
    Transfer baking sheet to oen and bake until fish is no longer translucent (cut to test) and flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes. If crumbs aren't sufficiently browned, broil fish 2 inches from heating element until crumbs are crisp and dark golden brown (watching carefully to prevent burning), 2 minutes longer. Serve immediately.
