Baked Parmesan Panko Crusted Fish Food

BAKED PANKO AND PARMESAN ENCRUSTED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Dry cod fillets well with a paper towel (If using frozen fillets, make sure to thaw it completely by submerging the cod in a vacuumed sealed bag with cold water).
• Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Use half of the mix to season the cod fillets on both sides evenly. Save the remaining for the breadcrumb mixture.
• To toast the panko, pour oil over the breadcrumbs and mix well, breaking up any clumps. Spread evenly onto a baking sheet and bake for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden and crunchy.
• Remove panko from the oven and pour it into a shallow dish. Let it cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining seasoning mixture and parmesan cheese. Mix well.
• Dredge seasoned cod fillet into the whisked egg, shaking off any excess. Then place the fillet into the panko mixture, pressing firmly on all sides for the crumbs to stick on.
• Place the breaded cod onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
• Bake for 10 minutes, or until internal temperature of the fish reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Garnish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon with side of tartar sauce!
