Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Blue Eye Cod fillets
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the Blue Eye Cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, chives, garlic, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the breadcrumb mixture and stir well until combined and slightly moist.
Press the herb crust mixture onto the top of each cod fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the herb-crusted fillets.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the fish from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the roasted Blue Eye Cod with lemon wedges on the side, paired with a light salad or steamed vegetables of your choice.
