Cheesy 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 BUTTERY CRACKER TOPPING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the crackers in a medium bowl and use your hand to crush them until they are finely crushed. (Some coarser bits are OK.) Add 4 tablespoons of the melted butter, the chives, parsley, lemon zest and onion and garlic powders, and stir to evenly combine, making sure to moisten all the crumbs.
• Put the fish fillets in a large, ovenproof skillet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over the fish and turn to coat. Season the fish on all sides with salt and pepper. Mound the cracker mixture on top of the fish, covering it. (Some cracker crumbs will fall off the fish.)
• Roast in the oven for 10 to 16 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Plan for about 10 minutes per inch; the fish should flake easily, and the juices should be bubbly around the edges. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with paprika, and serve with extra lemon wedges on the side.

COD WITH HERB-STUFFING CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place stuffing mix, parsley and lemon peel in processor and grind finely. Transfer crumb mixture to plate. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper; brush with melted butter. Roll fish in crumb mixture to coat completely.
• Arrange fish on small baking sheet. Drizzle with any remaining butter. Bake fish until crumb crust is golden and fish is just opaque in center, about 15 minutes. Divide fish between 2 plates. Garnish with lemon wedges.

• Place casserole dish in the preheating oven until butter is melted, about 5 minutes.
• Spread onion slices in the bottom of the casserole dish. Place cod skin-side down over onion. Sprinkle seasoned salt evenly on top.
• Mix mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese, and fresh parsley together in a bowl. Spread over cod.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cod flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.
