Baked Breaded Cod

"I found this on the internet and it is easy, quick and delicious. Cooking times will depend on the thickness of the fish but I am using the time it took to cook a 3 inch thick piece of cod. I imagine this recipe would work with other light white fish also."

  1. We really thought this recipe was delicious! I made as posted and it was very easy. Thanks for posting a keeper!
     
  2. Yummy ! Came out great - nice alternative to frying. We had this dish with Tater tots and Asperagus. Will definitely repeat.
     
  3. 5 stars for taste & ease of preparation. A great week-night recipe.
     
  4. I made this last night and it was great. Even the picky eaters were happy with it, which makes it a win in my household. The lemon really gave it a nice freshness. I did have to leave out the anchovy paste as we didn't have any, but I followed the rest of the recipe and it turned out great anyway. I will note that it only took about 12 minutes to cook as we had thinner pieces of Pacific cod, so watch the timing if you have thinner pieces of fish. I also recommend spraying the top with cooking spray or drizzling with melted butter to get the crunch and browning effect on the top, as another user suggested. Update a year or two later with a bump up to 5 stars: I've now tried this with the anchovy paste, which does add a bit of flavor if I have it, but is also excellent without. This is the most requested fish recipe on my house by the kids, and works well with other white fish.
     
  5. I hate having to tweek a recipe but also did NOT feel like going to the store. In lieu of plain breadcrumbs I used some Pepperidge Farm savory seasoned stuffing (the blue bag.) In place of the anchovy paste I used an equal amount of Worcestershire sauce- which has anchovies as an ingredient! I had enough of the mayo mixture and the crumbs to coat both sides, so I did. Waste not, want not. The cod turned out amazing! I've had this fish in the freezer for almost 6 months, nervous about screwing up a recipe. Fear no more! This recipe is easy and delicious! Thanks!
