Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-ounce each) fresh cod fillets
• 3 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh chives
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pat the cod fillets dry using paper towels, then lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the parsley, dill, chives, minced garlic, lemon zest, panko breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed; this will be your herb crumb topping.

Step 4

Place the flour on a shallow plate. Lightly coat each cod fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 5

Place the floured cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the fillets.

Step 6

Using your hands or a spoon, evenly spread the herb crumb topping over the cod fillets, pressing gently to help the coating adhere.

Step 7

Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and drizzle the lemon juice over the baked cod fillets before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
