This cod was light and extremely flavorful!
I seasoned 4 cod fillets with salt and pepper, and coated the baking dish lightly with olive oil.
Then mixed up 2/3 cup Italian bread crumbs with 3 TBSP freshly grated reggiano parmesan cheese, 1 TBSP dried parsley (you could use fresh if it’s in season. Just chop about twice that amount). The bread crumbs I used were some that I made myself from day old bread and added my own Italian seasoning, but you can use the store bought bread crumbs too.
I cubed up 1 1/2 to 2 TBSP butter and randomly placed them on top the fish. Then I sprinkled on the bread crumb mixture.
Place in a 425 degree oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes till it flakes easily with a fork.
Viola! The finished product!
Very light delicious and the cheese just adds a nice flavorful touch!
We had Proscuitto wrapped asparagus and baked sweet potatoes on the side.
And, for dessert, a super easy apple crisp that I just sort of made up as I went along topped with vanilla ice cream. That’s the kind of movie snack I’m talkin’ about!
In all honesty I didn’t have a recipe for the apple crisp. I just threw it together. Next time I make it I’ll calculate a little better so I can share the recipe for this also.
