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:
- To ensure the cod fillets remain moist and flaky, avoid overcooking them. It's recommended to cook the fillets for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- For a crispier crust, use a combination of bread crumbs and crushed crackers or nuts. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese or herbs for extra flavor.
- If you don't have a baking dish, you can also cook the cod fillets in a skillet. Just make sure to preheat the skillet over medium heat and add some cooking oil to prevent the fillets from sticking.
- To make the lemon crumb topping, use a food processor to combine the bread crumbs, butter, lemon zest, and sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Serve the cod fillets immediately after they're cooked, topped with the lemon crumb mixture and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
