By bns0607

Ingredients

• 2 cups Panko Crumbs
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
• 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 4 cod fillets (4 ounces each), skinned

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine panko crumbs, oil, parsley, zest, and salt.

2. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Press fish in crumb mixture, turning to coat. Transfer to wire rack. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 14 to 16 minutes. Divide fish and spinach among 4 plates.


Helpful Hint

Baking the cod on a wire rack allows the fish to get crisp on all sides.
