Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cod fillets
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a mixing bowl, combine grated parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add olive oil and mix until the ingredients are well combined and slightly moist.
- Place the cod fillets on a greased baking sheet. Spoon the parmesan mixture onto each fillet, pressing down gently to ensure it sticks.
Serving
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
Storage
- Allow the cod to cool completely before storing. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain the crispiness.
