Parmesan Crusted Baked Cod

Healthy Fact of the Day

Cod is a lean source of protein, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health. For a healthier version, use whole wheat bread crumbs for extra fiber and bake instead of frying to keep it light while still achieving a crispy, golden crust.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

    • 0.5 cup bread crumbs

    • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped

    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

    • 0.25 teaspoon salt

    • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

    • 2 tablespoon olive oil

    • 4 fillets cod

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
    • In a bowl, mix together Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to form a crust mixture.
    • Brush each cod fillet with olive oil to ensure that the crust sticks well to the surface.
    • Evenly coat the top of each cod fillet with the Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
    • Place the coated cod fillets in the prepared dish and bake in preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes.
    • Check if the fish flakes easily with a fork to determine doneness, then remove from the oven.
    • Let it cool slightly before serving, garnishing with additional parsley if desired.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
