GARLIC-CRUSTED COD FISH
This recipe comes from The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. Just buy the cod and parsley; and you probably have everything else at home. Such a simple fish recipe and it packs a lot of flavor. This is for garlic lovers! Note: if the breadcrumb coating doesn't immediately adhere to the fish, just pat it on. It works great.

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.

- 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.
PARMESAN-CRUSTED COD FILLETS
Cod fillets are one of our favorites; covered with Panko crumbs and baked gives them a crunch topping and tender, flaky fish inside. I serve this with the julienned carrots and also with spinach I've lightly sauteed in a little bit of olive oil over medium-low heat and cooked for about 2 minutes.

BAKED COD WITH BUTTERY CRACKER TOPPING
Baked, stuffed fish is an old-school restaurant staple in New England; covered in lemony, butter-soaked cracker crumbs, it's a wonderful way to eat mild white fish like cod or haddock. The dish has a long history and relies on two ingredients New Englanders have in abundance: fresh seafood and crackers, which are descended from sailors' hardtack. Fannie Farmer's 1896 "Boston Cooking-School Cook Book" has a recipe for cracker-stuffed halibut, seasoned with butter, salt, pepper and onion juice. Some modern versions use saltines, others use butter crackers like Ritz, and many enrich the crackers with crab meat. This recipe is an easy weeknight variation: Instead of rolling the fish up around the stuffing, which requires long, thin filets, it is generously covered in the stuffing and roasted until the cracker topping is toasted and the fish flakes.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the crackers in a medium bowl and use your hand to crush them until they are finely crushed. (Some coarser bits are OK.) Add 4 tablespoons of the melted butter, the chives, parsley, lemon zest and onion and garlic powders, and stir to evenly combine, making sure to moisten all the crumbs.
- Put the fish fillets in a large, ovenproof skillet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over the fish and turn to coat. Season the fish on all sides with salt and pepper. Mound the cracker mixture on top of the fish, covering it. (Some cracker crumbs will fall off the fish.)
- Roast in the oven for 10 to 16 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Plan for about 10 minutes per inch; the fish should flake easily, and the juices should be bubbly around the edges. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with paprika, and serve with extra lemon wedges on the side.
Tips:
- For the crispiest crumb coating, use a combination of panko breadcrumbs and crushed crackers. Panko breadcrumbs are light and airy, while crushed crackers add a bit of crunch.
- Season the breadcrumb mixture with your favorite herbs and spices. This will add flavor to the fish.
- Be sure to coat the fish fillets evenly with the breadcrumb mixture. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Shallow-frying is a great way to cook crumb-coated fish fillets. This method allows you to control the temperature of the oil and cook the fish evenly.
- If you don't have a shallow-fryer, you can also bake the crumb-coated fish fillets in the oven. Just be sure to preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the fish for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve crumb-coated fish fillets with your favorite sides, such as tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and coleslaw.
Conclusion:
Crumb-coated cod fillets are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a crispy outer coating and a tender, flaky interior, these fish fillets are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give crumb-coated cod fillets a try.
