Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Season the cod fillets on both sides with the salt and pepper and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

Place the panko, Parmesan, salt, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted butter into the bowl and mix with a fork until the crumbs are thoroughly moistened.

Spoon the panko mixture evenly over each cod fillet and gently pat it into an even layer.

Bake the cod on middle rack of oven until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork, 10-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Check to see that cod is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Plate the fillets and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Panko Perfection 🥖
Toast the panko breadcrumbs in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before coating to enhance their golden color and create extra crunch.
Moisture Magic 💧
Pat the cod fillets completely dry with paper towels before adding the panko crust to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent soggy breading.
Cheese Distribution 🧀
Mix the grated Parmesan directly into the panko breadcrumbs for more even flavor distribution and better adherence to the fish.
Butter Brush Technique 🧈
Use a light, even brush of melted butter on the cod before adding the panko crust to help the breadcrumbs stick and create a golden, crispy exterior.
Rack Placement Pro 🍽️
Place the cod on a wire rack set inside a baking sheet to allow air circulation and prevent the bottom of the fish from becoming soggy.
