Description
The fish stays tender and flaky while the Parmesan breadcrumb topping gets golden and crisp in the oven. A little lime, garlic, and butter give it plenty of flavor without making the recipe feel heavy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets, about 1 1/2 inches thick
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Set the oven to 425°F.
- Prep the fish. Pat the cod fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels, then arrange them in a baking dish.
- Add the seasoning layer. In a small bowl, stir together the lime juice, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Spoon the mixture over the cod and spread it evenly across the top of each fillet.
- Add the topping. Combine the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the fish.
- Bake. Drizzle the melted butter over the breadcrumb topping and bake for about 15–20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden.
- Finish and serve. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
