start in the kitchen.
LET’S MAKE IT
Step by step
- 01
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and lightly brush a baking dish with olive oil.
- 02
Pat cod fillets completely dry with paper towels and arrange in a single layer in the baking dish.
- 03
In a medium bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, melted unsalted butter, English mustard, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and garlic powder.
- 04
Divide the crumb mixture evenly over each cod fillet, pressing down lightly so the crust adheres to the top.
- 05
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
A LITTLE KITCHEN KNOW-HOW
Gratinated Baking
Baking protein under a buttered breadcrumb coating so the top crisps into a crust while keeping the fish moist.
Notes from the kitchen
- Thoroughly dry the fish before adding crumbs to ensure the crust bakes crisp instead of steamed.
- A quick squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before eating cuts through the butter crispiness nicely.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by British; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
