- 4 cod fillets, about 6 ounces (170g) each
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (40g) breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- salt and pepper
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the cod dry and set it in a buttered dish. Season it.

- Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish flakes and the crumbs are gold.
Notes
Cod is done when it flakes. A longer bake squeezes the moisture out.

Dry
Pat it. Wet fish steams and the crumbs stay pale.
Thickness
A thick fillet needs the extra minutes.
Lemon
In the crumbs and again at the table.
Butter
Melds the crumbs. Oil works if that is what you have.
