My notes and tips for this recipe:

  • Cod is a very lean fish, it does not have a lot of fat so it will cook quickly. I recommend checking the fish at 10 minutes to avoid overcooking it. Overcooking will cause the fillets to become dry. When cod is cooked perfectly it will flake easily with a fork. 
  • Use a meat thermometer to determine if the fish it done. The best way to make sure that fish, or really any meat is cooked through and has reached a safe temperature for consumption is to use a  thermometer. For cod  145°F is the internal temperature that indicates it is done.

Substitutions and Variations: 

  • Don’t have Panko on hand? Try making your own breadcrumbs by toasting slices of bread then pulsing them in the food processor until they reach desired consistency.  
  • This recipe calls for plain bread crumbs but you could use Italian seasoned bread crumbs if you want. If you do this you may want to leave out the Italian seasoning so that the fish is not over powdered by the flavor. 

Storage: 

Refrigerator: Garlic Parmesan Cod can be stored in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to three days.

Reheating: To reheat place fish in a 325°F oven and heat until just warmed through. 

I hope you and your family will love this recipe as much as we do! If you do try this recipe please come back and leave a comment letting me know how much you liked it!

Happy Cooking Y’all!
