Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Cod fillets
- 4 slices Prosciutto
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole (zest and juice) Lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and the prosciutto slices. Combine them in a mixing bowl with the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, melted butter, olive oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until evenly combined.
Spoon the prosciutto topping mixture onto each cod fillet, pressing it down gently to form an even layer.
Bake the cod fillets in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the fish is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Optional: For a more golden crust, switch the oven to broil during the last 2-3 minutes of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the cod fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with extra chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if desired. Serve hot.
