Baked Cod with Lemon Herb Crumbs

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. In a bowl, mix the panko, melted butter, garlic, lemon zest, parsley, parmesan if using and a pinch of salt.
  3. Pat the cod dry, set it on the pan and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over the top of each fillet. It helps the crumbs stick.
  5. Press the crumb mixture onto the tops of the fillets.
  6. Bake until the crumbs are golden and the fish is opaque, flakes easily and reaches 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part.
  7. If the crumbs need more color, broil for 1 minute, watching closely.
  8. Serve with lemon wedges.
  9. Cook to 145°F inside (check with a thermometer).
