Crusted Cod with Lemon and Parsley Recipe

What you'll need:

• A big, thick cod fillet (675g or so)
• 85g good white breadcrumbs
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 60g melted butter
• 3 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
• Zest of ½ lemon
• Salt and pepper
• Lemon wedges to serve

Serves: 4

Method

First

Season the cod well with salt and pepper, and in a mixing bowl, mix together with your fingers all the breadcrumbs with the parsley, garlic, a good squeeze of lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper and butter.

Second

Place your cod fillet in a shallow roasting dish, and cover completely with the breadcrumb mixture. Press down to make a thick crust. Bake in an oven at 220C for 20-25 minutes - the crust should be browned, and the fish should flake nicely. Serve with your choice of vegetables or a green salad.
