Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cod fillets
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  3. Place the cod fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Evenly distribute the Parmesan mixture over the top of each cod fillet, pressing it down slightly to adhere.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cod is flaky and the crust is golden brown.
