LifeIsGood's Note:

This recipe comes from The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. Just buy the codfish and you probably have everything else at home. Such a simple fish recipe and it packs a lot of flavor.

• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 12 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 cup breadcrumbs (I use seasoned)

• 1 egg , beaten
• 2 lbs boneless cod fish fillets , 1 inch thick and cut into 4 pieces

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Heat butter and oil in a saucepan over low heat and add the garlic for one minute to soften, not brown.
3. Remove pan from heat and add the bread crumbs, parsley, salt and pepper.
4. Mix to moisten the crumbs and seasonings.
5. Dredge each fish fillet in the beaten egg first.
6. Then dredge each fish fillet into the crumb mixture.
7. Place the coated fish fillets in an oiled roasting pan for the oven.
8. Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. The fish inside should be flaky. Use a fork to make sure the fish flakes and is done.
9. Serve with lemon wedges.

The flavours were fantastic but Rankin cod was a little thick and took 18 minutes to cook to flaking stage but was moist and very tasteful. I did add a little fresh very finely diced chervil with the garden picked parsley, For the last 5 minutes of baking I sprayed the fish the oil to try and get some colour into it. The only thing I would do differently to try and get a crispy coating would be to bake it on an oiled rack in the oven. Thank you KifeIsGood for a recipe which we enhoyed,

I was impressed with how quickly this came together. Super quick and easy! It was very tasty too. I used italian seasoned breadcrumbs but otherwise made as directed. Thanks for posting!

This recipe is so quick and easy to put together. I used gluten free breadcrumbs and stirred in some mixed dry herbs. I would highly recommend fresh lemon to compliment the dish. This was served with rice and fresh green beans. Definitely a repeat in my house. Made for Aussie Swap.
