Crispy Baked Cod
This 30-minute cod is baked, not fried, but still has a satisfyingly crispy, crunchy crust. Try baked white potatoes or sweet potatoes, cooked in the microwave to save time, on the side.
How to Make It
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.

Tasty, I think I would try the panko bread crumbs next time though. I liked the taste of the mustard with the fish. I would make this again, but not cook it for the full 15 minutes, maybe 10 minutes.

Easy and delicious and will make it again. I substituted mustard, with spicy brown mustard and used the Panko crumbs. Yumo

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this. The panko crumb topping was deliciously crunchy and I loved the Dijon in the coating. I made half the recipe but used the full amount of the Dijon and regular mayonnaise, not reduced fat. Can't to wait to make it for my seafood loving daughter-in-law when she visits.

Very good way to dress up fish in a pinch. Made it with haddock instead of cod. Will definitely try with panko crumbs next time.

I used frozen cod, which may have been the problem, but not much flavor

I have learned from my past...always use fresh Cod...it doesn't do well flash frozen, or at least not for me. Using fresh Cod, this was absolutely delicious and crunchy, yet lite.

There was definitely nothing crispy about this dish. There was no flavor to this and I would not make this again. The cod was fresh and would have been better off by itself.

I don't make cod very often, and not sure how fresh my choice of fish was. This recipe was pretty good, but I'll go back to other fish types in the future. I'm a big mustard fan, but would recommend a greater mayo : mustard ratio for this recipe. Happy cooking!
Easy and delicious
