Ingredients
  

  • For the Parmesan Crusted Cod:
  • 4 cod fillets about 6 oz each
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • For the Lemon Butter Sauce:
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper to make the crust mixture.
  • Pat cod fillets dry and brush them with olive oil. Press the fillets into the Parmesan mixture to coat them evenly.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the coated cod fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
  • In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Pour in lemon juice and add salt. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Serve the cod fillets hot, drizzled with lemon butter sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices if desired. Enjoy!
