How To Make Crispy
Baked Cod :
Step 1
Preheat oven to
350°F. In a small skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add garlic and
cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add bread crumbs, stir to coat with
butter, then cook, stirring frequently, until light golden brown, about 5
minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley and lemon zest. Let cool. Combine
mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
Step 2
Rinse fish and
pat dry. Sprinkle each fillet lightly with salt, then place on a rimmed,
foil-lined baking sheet and brush with mustard mixture. Press 1/4 of crumbs
onto each filet.
Step 3
Transfer baking
sheet to oven and bake until fish is no longer translucent (cut to test) and
flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes. If crumbs aren't sufficiently browned, broil
fish 2 inches from heating element until crumbs are crisp and dark golden brown
(watching carefully to prevent burning), 2 minutes longer. Serve immediately.
