Print Recipe

A light and flavorful dish featuring tender cod fillets coated in a crispy herb crust and baked to perfection. Ideal for a healthy and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, chives, garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Mix well until evenly moistened.
  3. Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the top of each fillet.
  4. Press the herb breadcrumb mixture onto the mustard-coated side of each fillet, gently pressing to adhere.
  5. Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet, crust-side up.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden and crisp.
  7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy crust.
  • Substitute dried herbs if fresh are unavailable, using one-third the amount.
  • This recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables or a green salad.
