Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) fresh cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh chives
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the cod fillets dry using paper towels, then lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the parsley, dill, chives, minced garlic, lemon zest, panko breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed; this will be your herb crumb topping.
Place the flour on a shallow plate. Lightly coat each cod fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Place the floured cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the fillets.
Using your hands or a spoon, evenly spread the herb crumb topping over the cod fillets, pressing gently to help the coating adhere.
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and drizzle the lemon juice over the baked cod fillets before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
