Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a shallow dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well blended.
Place the all-purpose flour in a third shallow dish.
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess.
Dip the floured cod into the beaten eggs, ensuring the entire fillet is coated.
Press the fish into the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly on all sides. Gently press down to help the coating adhere.
Place the breaded cod fillets on the prepared wire rack. Lightly spray the tops of the fish with cooking spray; this helps them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish easily flakes with a fork. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
