Description
A comforting yet sophisticated dish featuring cod fillets topped with a buttery, crispy breadcrumb layer.
Ingredients
- 4 cod fillets
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Arrange the cod fillets in a baking dish, ensuring they are laid out flat.
- Pour the butter mixture evenly over the cod fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly on top of the cod fillets, creating a nice layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving for a fresh touch.
Notes
For a crispier topping, broil the cod for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
