Baked Stuffed Cod Food

BAKED STUFFED COD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F and thoroughly coat a baking dish with nonstick spray and add the cod fillets.
• Try to choose a dish that will accommodate your fish in a single layer with little or no room left over. If your fillets have thin portions (as most do), it's a good idea to overlap them a bit to keep the thickness somewhat uniform.
• Drizzle the fish with 1 tablespoon each of the lemon juice and olive oil, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
• In a separate skillet, heat the remaining olive oil together with the butter over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and sauté just until garlic begins to turn golden (do not brown).
• Remove from the heat, stir in the remaining lemon juice, breadcrumbs and parsley.
• Spread the crumb mixture evenly over the fish and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily.
• Serve immediately (this dish is served casserole-style - you don't have to portion out individual fillets).

BAKED COD WITH GARLIC AND HERB RITZ CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 9 x 9-inch ceramic baking dish (it should be just big enough to hold the fish) and tilt the dish to coat the bottom with oil. Place the fish fillets in the dish and turn to coat both sides with the oil. Sprinkle the fish with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bake for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the cracker crumbs, panko, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Set aside.
• Remove the fish from the oven and pour the wine and lemon juice directly on the fillets. Pat the crumb mixture evenly onto the fillets, pressing gently to help them adhere. (Don't worry if some crumbs get into the sauce!)
• Return the pan to the oven for 12 minutes, until the fillets are just cooked through in the center, depending on the thickness of the fish. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices and lemon wedges.
