Oven-Roasted Parmesan Crusted Cod with Garlic Basil Butter

Ingredients

- 4 cod fish fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon, sliced into wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.

2. Prepare the Parmesan Mixture:
In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, all-purpose flour, dried basil, and onion powder. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Butter and Mustard Preparation:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Stir until the mixture is smooth.

4. Coat the Cod Fillets:
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the butter mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dredge the fillets in the Parmesan mixture, pressing the mixture onto the fish to form a crust.

5. Arrange and Roast:
Place the coated cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Space them evenly to allow for consistent cooking. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.

6. Garnish and Serve:
Remove the baked cod from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty flavor.
