Parmesan Crusted Cod
This Parmesan crusted cod is crispy, flaky, and bursting with flavor — and it’s ready in under 20 minutes! Perfect for busy weeknights or when you’re craving something light, healthy, and satisfying. 🐟✨
Ingredients:
- 4 cod filets (about 5 oz each)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ cup grated Parmesan (the fine, powdery kind works best)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prep your oven:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray. - Set up the coating station:
In one shallow bowl, beat the egg. In a second bowl, mix together the Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. - Bread the cod:
Dip each cod filet into the beaten egg, making sure it’s fully coated. Then press it into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides well. - Arrange and bake:
Place the coated filets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a golden, crispy crust. 🧄🔥 - Serve:
Plate it up with fresh lemon wedges or tartar sauce on the side. Enjoy immediately for best texture!
Pro Tips:
- Use powdered Parmesan (like the kind in the green can) for the best crust coverage.
- Swap cod for tilapia or haddock if that’s what you have on hand.
- Add a quick side like roasted veggies or a simple salad to round out the meal.
