There is nothing fancy about this but if your looking for a crispy coating without any deep-frying this is about as good as it gets, If your skillet is not large enough to hold all of the fish, then transfer to a baking sheet that has been coated with oil, only dry breadcrumbs or the coating will not adhere to the fish --- cooking time is for oven only, if desired any large fish fillet can be replaced for the cod, all seasoning my be adjusted to taste

  • Preheat your oven to the correct temperature. The temperature will vary depending on the recipe you are using, but it is typically around 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Season the cod liberally. Cod is a mild-flavored fish, so it benefits from being seasoned well. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

  • Cook the cod until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Let the cod rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.
