Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Dry cod fillets well with a paper towel (If using frozen fillets, make sure to thaw it completely by submerging the cod in a vacuumed sealed bag with cold water).
- Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Use half of the mix to season the cod fillets on both sides evenly. Save the remaining for the breadcrumb mixture.
- To toast the panko, pour oil over the breadcrumbs and mix well, breaking up any clumps. Spread evenly onto a baking sheet and bake for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden and crunchy.
- Remove panko from the oven and pour it into a shallow dish. Let it cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining seasoning mixture and parmesan cheese. Mix well.
- Dredge seasoned cod fillet into the whisked egg, shaking off any excess. Then place the fillet into the panko mixture, pressing firmly on all sides for the crumbs to stick on.
- Place the breaded cod onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until internal temperature of the fish reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

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:
- Choosing the Right Cod: Opt for fresh or frozen cod fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fillets with any signs of discoloration or an off odor.
- Properly Thawing Frozen Cod: If using frozen cod, thaw it completely in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes. Never thaw cod at room temperature, as this can promote bacterial growth.
- Seasoning the Cod: Before coating the cod in the panko mixture, season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Creating aCrispy Crust: To achieve a crispy panko crust, ensure that the panko breadcrumbs are evenly coated on the cod fillets. You can also lightly press the panko crumbs onto the fish to help them adhere better.
- Frying the Cod: Use a deep fryer or a large skillet with enough oil to shallow fry the cod fillets. The oil should be heated to 375°F (190°C) before adding the fish. Fry the cod in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan, to prevent the oil temperature from dropping.
- Draining and Serving: After frying, transfer the cod fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve the panko-encrusted cod immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or aioli.
