Oven-Baked Cod

By lakecar

Taken from Rachael Ray's 30-minute meals, this is amazingly quick, fresh, and light - can be made with any type of fish fillet. Of course, my usual salad-in-a-bag is a lifesaver here, and fresh broccoli steamed in the microwave or asparagus roasted alongside the fish completes the meal!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups plain breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley
• 2 -3 garlic cloves
• 1 lemon, zest of
• 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 4 (6 -8 ounce) cod fish fillets
• olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat oven to 400°F Line your pan with aluminum foil and lightly brush with olive oil, or use a bit of cooking spray.

2 Combine parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and coarse salt on the cutting board. Finely chop, then combine with the breadcrumbs in a shallow plate.

3 Brush top of each fillet with olive oil. Press fillet into the crumb mixture. Place fillets in baking dish, crust-side up. Bake until firm, about 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Serve with lemon wedges.
