I wasn't much of a big fish eater 'til I had crusted cod. When my mom told me that we were having fish for dinner I thought I'd rather have a hotdog. But then I tried the fish and I LOVED it! The crunch of the panko crumbs went well with the smoothness of the cod. A squeeze of lemon added a little splash of tang to the fish. The chopped parsley combined with the panko crumbs gave the dish a burst of color. It's not hard to make, even a kid can do it!
Crusty Cod
1 lb cod fillets
1 cup panko crumbs
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp chopped flat parsley
1 lemon
salt/pepper to taste
preheat oven to 375 degrees
Combine panko crumbs and parsley
Add melted butter and mix with a fork
Place fish in baking dish
sprinkle cod with a little salt and pepper
completely cover the fish in the panko crumb mixture
add a little dab of butter on top and a squeeze of the lemon into the baking pan
Bake in oven about 10 minutes
(Turn on the broiler for a minute or two if the bread crumbs aren't crunchy)
Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteI'm a friend of your mom/dad's and have enjoyed reading through your blog.
Have made the "Breakfast Pancake" before and love it - with lots of powdered sugar/lemon.
Am going to try your receipe for the cod! Ever had smoked bluefish? If not, you'd probably love it - on a cracker. Try it. Marilyn B.
