Ingredients

4 (6-ounce) cod fillets, about 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
In another bowl, combine panko, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Place cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Brush each fillet with the butter-lemon mixture.
Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or dried thyme to the breadcrumb mixture.
If using frozen cod, thaw completely and pat dry before baking.
