Parmesan Crusted Cod

It's Lent, and even if you don't observe not eating meat on Friday, you should still make this fish. It's easy and delicious, and as usual with most fish dishes - it's fast! So it's perfect for a night when you want to get something on the table quickly but still feed your family good, nutritious food.  That might be a Tuesday, and that's ok. It doesn't have to be Friday to enjoy good fish!

This comes together so quickly. You can steam some veggies while the fish bakes, and even roast some potatoes in the air fryer, then you'll have a complete dinner in less than 1/2 hour.

Simply pat the fish dry, cover it with a mix of parmesan, panko, and herbs, and send it to the oven! That's all there is to this. 

So whether you observe Lent or not, make this fish! There's enough crunchy, cheesy goodness on top to even distract non fish eaters, haha!

Parmesan Crusted Cod

4 - 6 oz. cod filets

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

1/3 cup panko

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. lemon zest

olive oil

Pat each fish filet dry with paper towels, then brush olive oil over the top of each filet. Combine the Parmesan, panko, garlic powder and lemon zest. Pat the crumbs onto the tops of each filet.

Bake a 425 for 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges, roasted potatoes and steamed veggies.
