Ingredients
Instructions
PREPARE THE COD FILLETS
Rinse the cod fillets under cold running water and gently pat them dry with paper towels. Check for any pin bones and remove them with tweezers if needed. Place the fillets on a plate and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice, ensuring the fillets are evenly coated. Let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Tip: Always pat the cod dry thoroughly to avoid excess moisture, which can make the crust soggy.
PREPARE THE LEMON HERB CRUST
Combine the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic and fresh parsley in a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed. Drizzle olive oil into the mixture, while stirring to create a slightly moist, crumbly texture.
Tip: Add a pinch of extra lemon zest to the breadcrumb mixture for a brighter flavor.
ASSEMBLE THE COD
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking dish with parchment paper. Place the cod fillets in the dish, ensuring they are spaced apart. Generously press the lemon herb crust mixture onto the top of each fillet, covering them completely and pressing gently to adhere.
Tip: Use your fingers to press the crust firmly for a better hold during baking.
BAKE THE COD
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the cod fillets for 12-15 minutes, depending on their thickness. The crust should turn golden brown and the cod should flake easily when tested with a fork.
Tip: Avoid overbaking to keep the cod moist and tender. If the crust browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
SERVE THE BAKED COD
Carefully transfer the baked cod fillets to a serving platter using a spatula to maintain the crust. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Pair with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
Tip: Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh, colorful presentation.
