Ingredients
- 1.25 pound cod fillets, pat dry
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated, grated
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 0.375 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 garlic, minced
- 1 pound broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 salt and pepper
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, fresh parsley, fresh dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In another shallow dish, lightly beat the eggs.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Dip each cod fillet into the beaten egg, coating both sides completely.
- Press each egg-coated fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, coating thoroughly on all sides. Place the breaded fillets on the prepared baking pan, leaving 1 inch space between each.
- In a small bowl, toss the broccoli florets and diced red bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- Arrange the seasoned vegetables around the cod fillets on the baking pan.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
- While the fish bakes, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, add the minced garlic, and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Remove the baking pan from the oven when the fish is cooked through.
- Drizzle the garlic butter evenly over the baked cod fillets.
- Divide the cod and roasted vegetables evenly among four plates and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
