Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) cod or haddock fillets
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking.
Arrange the cod or haddock fillets in a single layer in the baking dish. Season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and white wine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Pour the cream sauce evenly over the fish fillets in the baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Drizzle in a tablespoon of olive oil and mix to create a crumbly topping.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the fish and cream sauce.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with crusty bread or a side of steamed vegetables, and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
