Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F) and lightly oil a baking dish or line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Place the panko, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, grated garlic, parsley, dill, salt and pepper In a medium bowl.
  • Add the olive oil (or melted butter) to the bowl and give them a good stir, until the mixture has a crumbly appearance.
  • Lightly season the cod fillets and spread the panko topping among the fillets, pressing lightly so that it sticks.
  • Arrange the fillets in your oven dish and cook them in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the size/thickness of the fish. The topping should be slightly browned and the fish is mostly opaque (just cooked through), with a trace of translucence in the centre.
  • Serve the fish immediately with Tartar Sauce with Capers and a delicious vegetable side or potato chips while it’s warm and the crust is nice and crunchy.

Notes

  • To make things even quicker and easier, you can make the panko topping up to five days in advance and keep it refrigerated in an airtight container. When you are ready to cook your dish, simply spread the topping on the fish fillets and bake them for 12 to 15 minutes.
  • I recommend using fresh wild cod whenever possible.
  • You can use frozen cod or any other firm white fish for this recipe. Make sure the fish is totally thawed before cooking.
