Parmesan Crusted Cod

Introduction to Parmesan Crusted Cod

This Parmesan Crusted Cod is a simple cod recipe that’s low carb and ready in just 15 minutes. Easy to prepare and the whole family loves this flavorful fish. I’m always trying to come up with new ideas for seafood. It’s not something we eat a lot of, but my husband and I both have a goal this year to reduce some of our beef consumption and replace it with fish.

It’s a work in progress for sure and we’ve been having fun testing out new seafood recipes. This Parmesan crusted cod is so dang easy to make and the fish bakes in about 10 minutes. Cod is a mild flavored white fish that cooks so quickly with this method. We bread it in a mixture of Parmesan and seasonings and then bake. Serve this with lemon wedges or tartar sauce. We love quick dinners like this!

Ingredients

4 cod filets, about 5 ounces each
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup grated Parmesan
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
Place the egg in a shallow dish.
Add the Parmesan and seasonings to a second shallow dish and mix together with a fork to combine.
Dip each cod filet first in the egg and then in the Parmesan mixture to coat. Arrange on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.
Serve with lemon wedges or tartar sauce, if desired.

Tips & Notes

We use the powdery Parmesan cheese in the green can for a finer breading, but you could also use shredded Parmesan for a different texture.
