Best 7 Crispy Cod Fillets Recipes

CRISPY BAKED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Add the butter to an 11 x 7-inch baking dish (or another similar size dish that easily holds all of your fillets). Place the dish in the hot oven, just until the butter melts (it will only take a few minutes).
• In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornmeal, seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture to coat on all sides, shake off excess breading, and place in the hot dish. Very carefully turn the fish to coat with butter. You can also use a spoon to drizzle the melted butter over the top of the fish.
• Bake for 7-8 minutes. Turn the broiler to HIGH and broil the fish for 1-2 more minutes, until the top of the fish is crispy and flakes easily with a fork. Keep a close eye on the fish while it's under the broiler to make sure that it doesn't burn.
• Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish and sprinkle with parsley just before serving.
