Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Good olive oil
4 center-cut boneless, skinless cod fillets (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Ritz cracker crumbs (15 crackers; see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup panko (Japanese bread flakes)
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 9 x 9-inch ceramic baking dish (it should be just big enough to hold the fish) and tilt the dish to coat the bottom with oil. Place the fish fillets in the dish and turn to coat both sides with the oil. Sprinkle the fish with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the cracker crumbs, panko, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Set aside.
  • Remove the fish from the oven and pour the wine and lemon juice directly on the fillets. Pat the crumb mixture evenly onto the fillets, pressing gently to help them adhere. (Don't worry if some crumbs get into the sauce!)
  • Return the pan to the oven for 12 minutes, until the fillets are just cooked through in the center, depending on the thickness of the fish. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flaky cod fillets and select herbs that are fragrant and flavorful.
  • Pat the cod fillets dry: This helps the herb sauce adhere better to the fish and prevents excess moisture from steaming the fish instead of broiling it.
  • Use a flavorful herb sauce: The herb sauce is the star of this dish, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a variety of fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and dill, and season it with lemon juice, garlic, and salt and pepper.
  • Broil the cod fillets until they are cooked through: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets, but they should be cooked until they are opaque and flaky in the center.
  • Serve the cod fillets immediately: Broiled cod is best served hot out of the oven. Top it with the herb sauce and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Broiled cod with herb sauce is a light, flavorful, and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
