Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Prep your cod by cutting into individual portions (about 4 ounces each) and removing skin if necessary and patting dry with paper towels (try these bamboo paper towels for a more sustainable option!).
8 ounces cod
In a small mixing bowl, prep your crust by adding Panko, Parmesan, salt, pepper, paprika, and lemon juice and stirring to combine.
¼ cup Panko bread crumbs, ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon paprika, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Use clean hands to press the crust into the cod, coating it generously on both sides. Place the fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a reusable baking mat.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature of the cod reaches 125°F.
