Chef's Note

The key to perfectly baked cod is to avoid overcooking. The fish is done when it just turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If your fillets are different thicknesses, arrange them in the pan with thicker pieces toward the outside for more even cooking.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds cod fillets

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 4 cloves garlic

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary

  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 lemon

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

  • 2

    Pat the 1.5 pounds of cod fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.

  • 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

  • 4

    Drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the cod fillets, making sure each piece is well coated.

  • 5

    In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon of chopped thyme, and 1 teaspoon of chopped rosemary.

  • 6

    Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the breadcrumb mixture and stir until well combined.

  • 7

    Sprinkle the herbed breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cod fillets, pressing gently to adhere.

  • 8

    Arrange the lemon slices and 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes around the fish in the baking dish.

  • 9

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

  • 10

    For a more golden top, broil for the final 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

  • 11

    Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with the roasted tomatoes and lemon slices.
