Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 cod fillets about 6 ounces each
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel.
  5. Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet and spoon the breadcrumb mixture over each fillet, pressing down gently.
  6. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden.
