Ingredients

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

In a small bowl, mix the panko, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until combined.

3

Pat the cod fillets dry. Brush the top of each fillet with a thin layer of Dijon mustard.

Tip: The mustard acts as both flavoring and glue for the breadcrumb crust.

4

Press the panko mixture firmly onto the top of each fillet. Place on the baking sheet.

5

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork (internal temp 145F).

6

Serve with lemon wedges. Pairs well with roasted asparagus or a simple green salad.
